Cat Osterman and Ally Carda visiting the Academy softball athletes.
USA Softball Women’s National Team (WNT) has been training at the Texas Rangers MLB Youth Academy at Mercy Street Sports Complex, presented by Toyota this past week as they prepare for the Tokyo Olympic Games. Despite busy practice schedules, Cat Osterman and Ally Carda spent National Girls and Women in Sports Day with Academy softball athletes. Junior Kaila Torres (2022) from Sunset High School was “so excited and shocked at the same time” by the unexpected visit.
“Cat gave good advice on pitching…accuracy before speed,” said Torres, speaking on their conversation. Osterman and Carda advised them to never give up on their dreams of playing softball and to remember the importance of practicing to improve.
