Meet Sinai.
Focused. Determined. Dedicated. Professional. Polite.
Yeah, we know — not the words you usually hear when describing a 12-year-old. But Sinai isn’t your average player. The way she carries herself, the way she speaks — confident, respectful, and full of genuine excitement — it’s impressive. Honestly, adding her to Team 33 was one of the easiest decisions we’ve made. Her attitude and maturity alone had us sold.
And then there’s her game. Sinai flat-out rakes. She’s a beast between the lines, and we have no doubt her future in this game is bright. We’re proud to have her repping 33 as she keeps putting in work and chasing big things.

Plans For 25-26’: I’m gearing up for my upcoming travel ball season. I’m mostly in the gym working out, hitting the batting cages to perfect my swing, and doing lots of conditioning to make sure that I am in the best possible shape.
Other Sports: No, my entire life is dedicated to academics and softball
What Do You Love Most About Baseball: Softball brings people and families together. I have the most amazing friends because of softball. I’m starting to understand what my dad means when he says that softball is a game of failures that gets you ready for life. In softball, you must be able to recover from your failure in preparation for the next play. As an example, the defense's job is to get the batter out, but the batter’s job is to get on base. In this situation, someone has to fail, but that doesn’t mean it's over because you still have a chance to overcome your failures before that 21st out.
Superstitions: I HAVE to chew Big League Chew during the game. Its apart of our packing routine to ensure that I have my Big League Chew.

If you could go back in time and watch any 1 baseball game, what game would it be? I’d watch the 2021 game between James Madison vs Oklahoma State. This is the game where Odicci Alexander had the game-saving diving tag!
If We Asked Your Coach To Tell Us His/her Thoughts About You, What Would He/She Say? My coach says, “She’s an incredibly hard-working player, she’s self-motivated, and a natural leader. She has a high softball IQ and she is one heck of a ball player; simply put, she is a DAWG!”
