Personal Statement

My name is Kamille Kautz and I am a 5’4 short stop with my secondary being third baseman. I am in the graduating class of 2027 and play for a select travel ball team called PNW Force. I have been playing select since I was eight years old with the same organization. I consider softball to be one of the biggest influences in my life. As an enrolled tribal member of the Nisqually tribe, I want to be a positive role model and example to other young tribal member girls. I want to set the example at the collegiate level as we have few indigenous athletes that go on to the collegiate level. Getting a good education is very important to me. I have continuously made the Honor Role at my middle school.

 This past high school season was our first year at 4A. I finished my sophomore season with a .366 average, 30 hits, 19 RBIs and a .932 fielding percentage. I was voted 1st-Team All-League as an infielder, while we made it to the 4A State Tournament. Currently my 16u summer travel ball season just ended. I finished the season with .425 batting avg, 37 hits, 28 RBI’s 4 homeruns and .995 fielding %. 

 I hold a 3.3 GPA, and I want to major in early childhood education. I love working with kids, and the club I play for has 10U-18U teams. In my spare time I love to attend practices and help out whenever I can with the younger teams.
 
 I believe I am a special player because I’m a defensive field general. I make it my priority to communicate with everyone on my team before and after every pitch. At shortstop, I cover a lot of ground and have a strong arm. On my club team, our coach has us on a great daily workout plan which includes an app on our phones. This includes workouts, hitting drills and fielding drills I do every day. I know the importance of what it takes to get to the college level.
 
 I love the game of softball, and have the dream of playing at the next level. Thank you for taking time to view my profile!
