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.

AUSTINTOWN OH- The Austintown-Fitch Falcons softball team has yet another star-studded first baseman that is making all the noise out in Falcon Country. Celebrating a newfound Austintown holiday “Abby Day” which just so happens to occur everyday! Abby Toth made an instant impact on The Falcons lineup in her freshman year last season, hitting .450 with five home runs and 20 RBI, Toth was impressive to say the least.

This year she has managed to bat a team high .688 with four extra base hits and two RBI at the time of this article. Batting in the ever-important third spot in the lineup, a tremendous amount of trust has been put onto the sophomores shoulders; however, she has welcomed the challenge with open arms.

In this edition of Player Profile, YSNs Ty Bartell and Anthony Hartwig get the chance to talk with the Falcon first basemen about the state championship run last year, her continued progression as a player and some softball superstition.

ABBY DAY EVERYDAY

Falcon freshmen have made up a new core of youth talent that looks to keep The Falcons competitive for years to come. This includes a new face taking reigns at first base, with big shoes to fill! Last year Fitch had senior Maddy Taylor on the right corner of the infield, who sported a .506 batting average, along with five home runs and 34 RBI. Looking for someone to step up, The Falcons put their faith in freshmen Abby Toth. Entering into the system, Toth blended with the team perfectly!

Quickly becoming one of the voices in the dugout, Toth has also produced with her bat! Batting a smooth .475 while swatting five home runs and bringing in 15 RBI on the season. Not just an offensive player, Toth has played great defense at first, which can become a hot corner of its own when Sydnie Watts is in the circle. 

Beyond the incredible bounds built during the annual Myrtle Beach trip, her teammates have seemingly created a new holiday, “Abby Day” in Austintown whenever the first baseman goes big fly! With the hot bat of the freshmen, “Abby Day” can occur everyday! Outside of the softball field, Toth shares her interests, people who have impacted her and her favorite Buffalo Wild Wings flavor. All that and more in this edition of Player Profile as Ty Bartell and Anthony Hartwig chat with Fitch freshmen Abby Toth!
