Scouting Report via Billy Chief Gerald – (Chief Gerald’s Pitching Academy)

I have had the pleasure of coaching Morgan for the past two years. As a rising junior, she shows impressive maturity and skill as a pitcher. Morgan incorporates feedback quickly and demonstrates both movement and velocity while effectively targeting the strike zone. With her talent and work ethic, I am confident she will excel at a top Power Four college program. Bryan Jones (Former Coach of Duke University Softball) Morgan has blossomed as a hitter through her dedication to improving her timing, bat speed, and connection. With impressive bat-to-ball skills and strength, she hits powerfully to all parts of the field. Competing at a high level is crucial for her growth, and she has emerged as a standout in the 2027 class. Her potential for college softball is exciting, and the future looks promising!
