Abigail Nelson Named PCFL Player of the Month for April

The Alliance Fastpitch proudly announces Abigail Nelson (2028) from the Pacific Coast Fastpitch League (PCFL) as Player of the Month for her remarkable play in April 2024. Abigail Nelson, a versatile player for OC Batbusters Vidano, excels on both sides of the ball. Her April stats include a .222 batting average, a .318 OBP, 2 singles, 5 RBIs, and 1 stolen base. Through 24.1 innings pitched, she had 22 strikeouts and a 1.494 ERA.

Abigail Nelson’s softball journey begins at the age of six when her parents, both former softball and baseball players, sign her up to play. She starts as a catcher and transitions to pitching due to her team’s needs. After one season as a pitcher, she falls in love with the sport and the position. Abigail loves playing softball because of the team’s family aspect and the collective effort required to achieve their goals. Her dad inspires her to become a pitcher and works with her to develop her skills.

A cherished softball memory for Abigail is playing in the Triple Crown World Series in Ogden, Utah. This tournament stands out as one of her best, where she hits three over-the-fence home runs, pitches a perfect game, and creates awesome memories with her teammates.

Abigail’s favorite player is Nijaree Canady, but outside of softball, she enjoys reading, playing volleyball, and going to the beach.

Currently, Abigail’s goals include maintaining a 4.0 GPA or higher throughout high school, earning a full-ride scholarship to college for softball, and being the kind of teammate people remember. The Alliance Fastpitch commends Abigail 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.
