Congratulations to Makenzie Chevier for being named Victus Player of the Month winner for July! Makenzie is on ITN's Central Penn Lady Renegades 12u (Waldman) team. She was nominated by coaches and ITN staff. Here’s what some of them had to say about Makenzie:

 

Makenzie consistently works with a pitching coach and has also done hitting lessons with Coach Sam. She has also frequently utilized her Academy membership to get extra reps in the lanes or cages. As one of the youngest players on the team, Makenzie developed into a starting pitcher. She has pitched the most innings on the pitching staff (37.1), and has the most games played on the mound (14) with 12 starts. Makenzie totaled 36 strikeouts on the season. She has a team high fielding percentage with .933, including 16 assists and 12 putouts with a total of 30 chances.

 

Makenzie is by far one of the most hard working players we have ever seen in the Lady Renegades organization. Makenzie puts in tons of work in and out of practice to better herself as a player. She came into this team as a brand new 12u player and proved herself to be a strong, reliable pitcher. Makenzie’s cut ball and change up are like no other! Makenzie is always up for a challenge. Besides pitching, she played second base and outfield, proving to be very versatile in the field. She also learned how to drag bunt and slap this year, a skill that most don’t have at her age. Makenzie takes care of all the little things. She cheers and supports all of her teammates, hustles on and off the field, and is always the first one to pick up team equipment. She is coachable and applies feedback as soon as it’s given to her. If the team is doing conditioning, Makenzie pushes herself to be the first one finished. It is players like Makenzie who will go far in the game because of her unwavering commitment, dedication, work ethic, and positivity. Makenzie has earned this award. Coach Kaylee and Coach Sam can’t think of anyone more deserving.
