02/17/2018 - Mid Atlantic Regional Softball Accelerated Pitching & Catching Weekend (Ages 13-18) Janaya joined us in mid-February for the Mid Atlantic Regional Softball Accelerated Pitching & Catching Weekend. She is a coachable player that is willing to put the time and work in to advance her skill set. On the mound, Janaya has a confident presence and with a 4-pitch package she works to generate ground ball outs for her defense. She works in the low 50's and is able to throw her off-speed pitch in the low 40's. Janaya has strong legs and working to engage her lower half will allow her to see an increase in her velocity. We look forward to seeing what the future holds for Janaya.
12/17/2017 - College PREP - Madison (NYC), NJ Janaya is a 2018 two-way player as RHP/OF with a developing skill set. On the mound, Janaya has a confident presence. She has good balance, a fluid/free arm action and extends through her release. She has a 4-pitch package that includes a change-up that keeps hitters off balance. She has controlled mechanics and creates nice movement on her change-up. Engaging her lower half will allow her to see an increase in her velocity. In the OF, Janaya makes the routine play. She has active footwork and takes good routes on the ground ball. Working on using the proper arm slot will allow her to see more carry on the ball. In the box, Janaya is a RHH that uses an open stance with a smooth load. She generates fast bat speed, makes square contact and is a line drive hitter. Working to stay balanced throughout her swing will allow her to see more power production. Overall, Janaya is a hard-working player and with continued work she will be able to take her game to the next level.
