Allyson Rasmussen Named CFL Player of the Month for April

The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Allyson Rasmussen (2029) from the Central Fastpitch League(CFL) as Player of the Month for her remarkable play in April 2024. Allyson Rasmussen, a versatile player for Oklahoma Athletics 12U Madden/Davis, excels in multiple positions—third base, shortstop, catcher. Her April stats include a .333 batting average, a .385 OBP, 3 singles, 1 RBI, and 1 stolen base. 

Allyson Rasmussen’s softball journey begins at the age of six when her mom asks her if she wants to start playing recreation ball and machine pitch. She loves playing softball for the fun it brings, the opportunity to meet new people, and the chance to let off steam. While her specific inspiration is hard to pinpoint, it is likely a mix of watching the OKC Dodgers and the excitement of playing a sport with her friends.

A cherished memory for Allyson is her first championship win, which stands out as a significant achievement. Winning against a team they probably shouldn’t have beaten makes the victory even sweeter, marking her first big win and leaving a lasting impact on her.

Allyson’s favorite player is Lynnsie Elam, whom she met at a camp. This encounter inspires her to continue playing and improving in the sport. Outside of softball, Allyson enjoys playing basketball, drawing, making reels on Instagram, occasional cooking, and hanging out with friends.

Currently, Allyson’s goals include better engaging her hips when hitting, becoming more aggressive defensively, and learning to pick better pitches to swing at. She also aspires to become a Criminal Profiler in her future career. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Allyson on her well-deserved recognition as Player of the Month, acknowledging her outstanding contributions to the sport and her commitment to personal and athletic growth.

What is the Alliance Fastpitch Player Recognition Program?

The Player Recognition Program was built to recognize and spotlight our individual players in each Member League. Each month, registered Alliance Fastpitch coaches can nominate a player from their age division. League Leadership will review nominations and a monthly stats report from AthletesGoLive (AGL) to determine the League’s Player of the Month.

Following the announcement of each League’s Players of the Month, the Alliance Fastpitch will recognize a National Player of the Month. To be considered for Player of the Month, your team must score League games in AGL so your stats will be included in the League’s monthly report.
