Tori Dahnke

My name name is Tori Dahnke, and I attend school at Crosby Middle School and will graduate at Crosby High School in 2026. I play for Texas Shock National 16U as a pitcher and outfielder. In December 2020, I got the best pitcher award in the All-American games out of my graduation year, and I had a .429 batting average during my 2021 club season.

On my select team, I primarily play pitcher. I can throw a lot of different pitches such as fastball, change-up, curve, screw, drop and rise. My fastball is 60-62 mph and my change-up is anywhere between 35 to 40.  My secondary position is anywhere in outfield that you need me to go.

Outside of school and softball, I also do cheer for our middle school cheer team. Between softball and cheerleading, I think I stay in pretty good shape, including working out at home when I get free time. I have been working and practicing my entire life for this sport, and I strive to work more and harder, I am determined to become a better player this season by setting more goals for myself, such as getting my pitching speed in the 60s.

I believe that I could show you that I am a committed softball player and would love the opportunity to tell you about my dream to play college softball. Thank you for reading this!
