WYMER IS HERE JUST IN TIME
NEW MIDDLETOWN OH- Springfield High School’s softball team has found its latest sensation in freshman pitcher Makenna Wymer, whose remarkable debut has captured the attention of the local sports community. Wymer’s varsity journey began with a bang—her very first career start ended in a no-hitter, a rare feat for any athlete, let alone a ninth grader. “Honestly, I didn’t even know I was doing it until it was over, but I definitely couldn’t do it without my teammates and their help,” Wymer told YSN’s Anthony Hartwig in a recent podcast interview.
Despite her youth, Wymer’s confidence and poise have helped her transition seamlessly into a leadership role on the team. She credits a close-knit group of upperclassmen for making her feel welcome and setting a positive tone this season: “They definitely are very good leaders…they always got that mentality of getting the game going,” she explained. A Springfield native, Wymer’s softball journey began in tee-ball, with pitching becoming her passion after joining 8U leagues. She describes her style as hardworking and tenacious, motivated by personal standards of excellence and a little help from her family—especially her supportive parents and best friend, Gracie, who plays shortstop right behind her.
Wymer’s competitive spirit extends beyond the diamond. Off the field, she enjoys spending time with family, going on annual camping trips, and living in the comfort of a tight-knit Springfield community. Her dreams stretch far, revealing aspirations of vacationing in Greece and improving both her pitching consistency and power at the plate. As Springfield continues its season, all eyes will be on Wymer—whose blend of talent, humility, and drive promises an exciting future for Blue Devils softball.
