Bailey Wade is a standout player in the 2030 class, who impresses onlookers on the softball diamond as both a first baseman and left-handed hitter. Hailing from Illinois, Wade plays travel ball for Central Illinois Select and will attend Washington Community High School in the fall. She brings a high softball IQ to the field and a 4.0 GPA to the classroom. Wade is a leader on the diamond, who moves on quickly from mistakes and tries to encourage her teammates to do the same. In the circle, she relies a ton on movement and placement of her pitches rather than velocity, and loves to throw first-pitch changeups to get batters off-balance and drop balls to finish them off. Wade is a multi-dimensional player who should only continue to improve on the field.
