THE UNSTOPPABLE TOTH-NADO
By Ty Bartell
AUSTINTOWN OH- If you have been to a Fitch softball game at any point in the last two seasons, then there is a strong possibility you have heard the powerful voice of Abygale Toth, the first baseman for The Falcons softball team. But do not be fooled, the power is not just in her voice, for Abby has shown her ability for extra-base pop over the course of the last two seasons. Batting .583 last year with 22 extra base hits with 3 home runs, 12 doubles and 5 triples last campaign.
Even more than her ability to swing the stick, Abby has one of those personalities that lights up a room, a voice that has every one of her teammates backs while showing a tremendous amount of passion for the game, her school, her team and the community that surrounds them!
After winning back-to-back state championships her freshman and sophomore years, the expectation bar has been set quite high for junior year. Although many may have jumped off the train for The Falcons three-peat, with unwavering confidence, Abby Toth is a believer in herself and her team’s abilities to win and with The Falcons flying under the radar, for Fitch, that’s how they prefer it this year. “I like to be someone that they can come and talk to. So rather than them not wanting to talk to me at all. I just want to be someone that can have people come to me and talk about what’s wrong and what they think they’re doing is wrong. And I’m always there to just pick them up.” Toth said.
The softball career will not stop in high school, as ahead of her junior year, Toth committed to Detroit Mercy to continue her softball adventure collegiately. “”I absolutely love the campus. I love the players and the coaches. They were just so welcoming when me and my mom came in to have a visit there, and they really seemed excited for me to be there.” Toth said on committing to Detroit Mercy.Someone with intense focus, Toth is a menacing presence at the plate, but always keeps it fun in the dugout. Truthfully someone that performs at a high level and plays the game the right way while having fun every single step of the way. Toth’s advice for younger players? Focus on what’s ahead. “Life goes on. Things just happen. There’s always the next play, always the next at-bat. So you have to remember what’s in the future, not in the past.” Toth said.
