After losing her brother when he was only a month old, senior Harlee Fowler plays to her best ability and does everything in life the same way to honor him.
This is the motivation that Fowler wants to use this year to excel and grow as a player. Last year Fowler had a batting average of .437 and an OBP of .548 and only two strikeouts to her name.
Fowler’s role this year for Circle is to be a leader, and head coach Jason Schropp describes her as a hard working young lady and a great leader. Fowler also realizes her role and plans to step into it.
“I am the team leader on and off the field. I plan our off season team gatherings and activities. I lead by example on the field through my work ethic and commitment to the game,” Fowler said.
Fowler is also very versatile as she can pitch, play in the outfield and shortstop. This season she is excited to play up the middle as a shortstop with her little sister.
During the season Fowler was around softball nonstop, continuing to play and grow her game for her final season of high school softball.
“I play year round on The KS Renegades club team,” Fowler said. “In the summer I travel the Midwest playing tournaments. Several days a week I attend my club team practices, and get extra reps with my dad. This past year I have also started strength training with Jordan Knox from Untamed Athletes.
