Alyssa brought to Team Beast great energy and the willingness to do anything asked of her. She is a second baseman by trade, but because she had some experience behind the plate, at Islip High School, she has helped out with depth at the catching position. A true-blue collar player with a team first attitude. Initially, Alyssa was rostered on our 16U Gold team but was quickly elevated to our 18U Gold roster. She's a very adaptable player that is always in fast twitch mode. Never gets cheated at the plate and is always in her feet. Great energy to be around and has the ability to lift the spirits of her teammates all the time. Enjoys playing the game and is always ready to compete. Versatile athlete that offers a lot to a college lineup. Contact hitter that is always on base. Very aggressive player on the defensive side of the ball as well. Has a high IQ and is a leader on her teams, demonstrating that her team comes before oneself. Between playing for Islip High School, arguably one of the most competitive high schools on Long Island in the sport of softball, and Team Beast 18U Gold, Alyssa will be ready to compete and make an immediate impact at Purchase College. Her development, love and passion for the game was guided by her former Head Coach at Islip High School, the late and legendary Dennis McSweeney. We know he would be very proud of Alyssa and her accomplishments. Alyssa is also an excellent student and is going to pursue a degree in Criminal Justice or Business at Purchase College, with her career goal working in law enforcement. Congratulations to Alyssa and her family on this outstanding accomplishment. We are so proud and happy for you and know you have a bright future ahead of you.

Eager to take her game to the next level, she was all in and committed to fitting in right away. Taylor is her hardest critic. Always chasing perfection and wanting to do her best. That trait has fit right in with her peers at Beast and her players gained a respect for her almost immediately as well as the coaching staff. Taylor's is an infielder for our Gold Team. Mostly a second baseman but has also played a little third base. Taylor takes great angles at second base, has a strong throwing arm and excellent range and athleticism. Footwork and glove work continue to improve and is one of our players that's not afraid to leave her feet to keep the ball in the infield. In regard to her offense, this area has improved immensely since arriving to Beast. Taylor has committed to working on her swing and continues to gain more confidence. Had a strong HS season at the plate followed by a very productive summer season with some big hits in pressure situations. Arguably our most improved player over last year's seasons.

Bailey came to Team Beast knowing she wanted to compete at college level playing softball. She has committed to hard work both on the softball field and in the hitting lab. Countless hours of hard work, Bailey has transformed herself into a power bat in the middle of the 18U Gold lineup. Due to her insane bat speed and strength, Bailey has been one of the teams' leaders in extra base hits the last couple of seasons. Exit velocities in the mid 70's will make her a dangerous bat at the next level. Her offensive prowess translates to high level D2 and beyond. Bailey's arm strength is another attribute that stands out. She has played 3B and both corner OF positions for 18U Gold team. Bailey has great range and is exciting to watch when she is gunning runners out at all bases. She is a true competitor. Wants to be prepared and successful on the field at all times. Bailey brings that intense approach day in and day out. True testament to her commitment to the game and her teammates. Bailey is also a strong student and is undecided at this point what career path she is going to take. We know she will be successful in whatever she decides. Bailey has a bright future ahead both academically and athletically. Congratulations to Bailey and her family on this outstanding accomplishment.
