Devil Dogs 2031Makenna Ross

About Makenna

Makenna Ross is a pitcher and first baseman who brings a combination of pitching velocity and offensive power potential to the Devil Dogs. Her current measurable profile includes a 58 MPH fastball, 64 MPH exit velocity and 53 MPH overhand throw, along with a 5.12 5-10-5 shuttle.

Makenna appeared with the Devil Dogs in a limited two-game sample during the previous summer, so those statistics are best viewed as supplemental rather than a full-season evaluation. In six innings in the circle, she allowed five hits while striking out 11 without issuing a walk. She finished that sample with a 2.000 ERA, 0.833 WHIP, .217 opponent batting average and 63.44% strike rate. At the plate, she went 2-for-4 without a strikeout.

Her goals for the current season are ambitious but measurable, including increasing pitching velocity and working toward 100 strikeouts while continuing to develop offensively. Away from the field, Makenna is interested in zoology or marine biology and hopes to continue playing softball in college. Her continued development will center on command, velocity and building a larger body of work against consistent competition.
