Kailyn Gahagan

My name is Kailyn Gahagan, and I’m a 2028 recruit from Central High School in Martinsburg, Pennsylvania. I am 5-foot-9 and weigh 150 pounds. My primary position is pitcher (56 mph fastball), but I can play anywhere on the field except catcher. I usually play 1B or RF when I’m not in the circle. I work hard both on and off the softball field. I currently have a 3.8 GPA and attend college prep classes at school.   Along with varsity softball, I also play soccer as our starting goalkeeper. My travel softball team is Sideline Cancer Organization 14U based out of Bellwood, Pennsylvania. I have been with this team since 2023, and I love playing with my teammates for something “Bigger Than Softball.” I believe I have a strong mental approach when I play and adjust during each game for hitting and/or pitching. When I’m in the circle, I don’t dwell on the negative. I see each pitch as a new opportunity.   I started playing baseball at age 3 and moved over to softball at age 6. I play softball not only for the love of the game but also the friendships I’ve made because of it. I have grown so much in the past 10 seasons as a player and a person. Softball has given so much to me and my family. I want to play softball in college because I love the game and want to continue to challenge myself.   Thank you for taking time out of your day to view my profile!
