Payten Bradley

I love the game of softball because it has helped shape me into the best version of myself. After suffering a concussion during the fall of my freshman year, I came back stronger, more determined, and ready to compete for everything I want to achieve.

I am a hard-contact, power hitter who also pitches. One of my biggest strengths is the energy and communication I bring to my team. I love encouraging my teammates, keeping everyone engaged, and helping create a positive and competitive environment. I am not afraid of hard work, and you can often find me in the batting cages putting in extra time outside of practice to continue improving my game.

When I'm not on the softball field, I enjoy spending time with friends, playing pickleball, and being with my family. I am also involved in several clubs at school and participate in the National Charity League, where my mom and I volunteer together and give back to our community.

I am looking forward to continuing my education while finding a team where I am valued for my strengths and what I can bring both on and off the field. I am excited to contribute my work ethic, leadership, energy, and passion for the game while continuing to grow as a student-athlete. My goal is to be part of a program that feels like family, challenges me to reach my full potential, and allows me to make a positive impact on my teammates and community.
