The General

S p r i n g

At the plate she has a .309 batting average with 17 hits, 13
runs and 8 RBI’s and only 2 strikeouts. Almost 30% of her
hits this season have been for extra bases.
But on the mound is where this

General shows no mercy. In 103.1 innings of work
so far this season, Strickland has an ERA of only 0.95
– the lowest of any starting pitcher on the Treasure
Coast. She has fanned 104 batters, while walking
less than 25% of the hitters she has faced. And for
those that actually get on base against her, scoring a
run is not an easy task as less than 11% of the hitters
she has faced this season have actually crossed the
plate safely.

General Strickland is determined to be the best softball
player and team mate she can be. She is a hardworking
and dedicated team player who always gives the extra effort necessary for success. She has dreams and aspirations
to go to a four year college after LPA, with UCF, UF, FGCU,
Lynn and IRSC all on her radar screen at the moment.

And as far as her life after softball, General Strickland wants
to help people and give back to her community in the same
what that others have done for her.
“I want to pay it forward”, she says.

If you have not already figured it out, Taylor Strickland is a
winner – on and off the field!
