Sydney Herrmann has been a force to be reckoned with on the Center Grove softball field this season. The senior’s impressive performance has led to career highs in several categories, solidifying her position as one of the team’s top players.
Performance Highlights
- Batting Average: .443, a significant improvement from previous seasons.
- Runs Scored: 21
- RBIs: 32
- Doubles: 10
Herrmann’s ability to drive in key hits for her team has been evident throughout the season.
Experience Under Pressure
When asked about her experience playing on the big stage and how it contributes to her success, Herrmann credits it for helping her stay calm under pressure. She stated, "I’ve played in some big games before. I know what it feels like when you’re up there with two outs and two runners on base."
Key Moments
In a recent game against Franklin Central, Herrmann delivered a crucial hit with two outs and two runners on base in the third inning. Her line drive cleared the bases off the center field fence, securing a win for Center Grove.
Team Success
The victory marked their second consecutive trip to regionals and seventh since 2015. When discussing the team’s ability to replace departed players from last year’s semistate runner-up squad, Herrmann attributed their success to their depth of talent.
"We just keep reloading," she said confidently. "There’s no one who can’t do the job." She emphasized that every player on her team is capable of stepping up when needed.
Comparison to Last Year
When comparing this year’s lineup with last year’s squad that finished as semistate runner-up, Herrmann noted that there isn’t anyone who couldn’t get it done if they needed it. She believes that this season, Center Grove is more well-rounded than they were last year.
Future Plans
Herrmann will graduate next month after completing three years at Park Tudor High School before transferring back home during her freshman year due to a lack of school size options available near the Indianapolis area where her family resides.
