Brooke Borwege

My name is Brooke Borwege, a 2027 pitcher from Bloomington, MN. I’m 6-foot tall (and still growing!) and 145 pounds, and I’ve been playing softball ever since I was little. One thing that makes me unique is my accuracy and my ability to paint the corners while pitching. My current fastball is 65 mph, and I’ve worked to become great at a variety of pitches including a 4-seam, changeup, drop ball, curve ball, rise ball, and a 2-seam fastball.   Another thing that makes me unique is my height, which gives me a strong advantage while playing first base. My long legs help me stretch out and gain extra outs at first, while my crucial ball-tracking skills allow me to pick hard throws out of the dirt. Beyond just physical abilities, I am known for my composure and presence on the rubber, even during the most pressured situations. Through my years of playing, I’ve learned that body language, strong communication and overall chemistry are essential to a successful team, therefore I intend to bring energy and confidence to every game and practice.   Academically, I’m proud to have a 3.8 GPA. When it comes to school, my strong suit is definitely math. This year I am taking both Geometry and Algebra 2 so that I can take Calculus during senior year. I love to be creative, which I think adds another layer to how I approach challenges in school or on the field.   My goals are clear – I want to play softball at the collegiate level while pursuing a strong academic program. I am open to all colleges, but I am particularly searching for a program where I can continue to develop as a player and contribute to a team that values hard work, teamwork and a positive mindset. I’ve been recognized for my efforts on the field, earning All-Conference and All-Section awards as a freshman on varsity, and I’m committed to continuing that level of performance and leadership. What I can offer to a team is more than just my skills on the field; I have a very strong work ethic so when I’m off the field, I am constantly training and looking for ways to make myself better not just for myself, but for my team. I’m dedicated, hardworking and always willing to put in the extra time and effort to make sure I’m performing at my best.   Thank you for taking the time to consider me for your program. I’m excited about the opportunity to be a part of a team that shares my passion and dedication to the game.
