FREE TO BE FREEDY

CANFIELD OH- Some people go through life without getting the opportunity to achieve something they work hard for. It’s a reality of life, especially sports that hard work doesn’t always equal desired results. For three years Haylie Freedy put in all the work in the world.  However that opportunity to be a consistent starter on the varsity level never manifested itself.  That all changed this off-season when new head coach Mike Kernan gave Freedy the reigns of her future and the opportunity to make an impact on the team.  To say that Freedy made the most of the open door would be an understatement.  She has raced into on of the best batting averages on the team, and she also has saved countless runs with a great glove in the outfield.  Freedy will be playing softball at the next level as well. She will continue her softball career at Mount Vernon Nazarene.

Freedy is currently hitting at an average of .477 with 4 doubles, 2 triples, and 15 RBI.  Her on base percentage is elevated as well sitting at .511.  One of the big reasons she gets on base so much is her ability to put the ball in play. Freedy has only struck out 2 times all season. She also drawn 5 walks.  Freedy uses plenty of speed when she gets on base, she has stolen 7 bags this year and has not been caught once.

Freedy took the time to talk with YSN’s Anthony Hartwig about this senior season.  She discusses how she has been able to make the most out of her opportunity, keeping her confidence High through her career, and so much more.
