𝑨𝒍𝒆𝒙 𝑢𝒆𝒓𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓 🀝 π‘»π’π’Žπ’Žπ’Šπ’† 𝑺𝒐𝒇𝒕𝒃𝒂𝒍𝒍

HUUUUUUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Alex Oerther (alexoerther | 2028 | 3B/C | 16U Catalyst National Smyth | Bloomington, MN) on her verbal commitment and scholarship acceptance to continue her academic and athletic career playing Division I softball at the University of St. Thomas! πŸ’œπŸ€

Going into her third year with Catalyst, Alex has become one of those players you want at the plate when the game is on the line. She is as clutch as it gets, plays with confidence and brings legitimate power every single time she steps into the box.

But what makes Alex so much fun to coach goes way beyond what she can do with a bat, she COMPETES. There is no shortage of fire, energy or emotion when Alex is on the field. She plays hard, celebrates harder and brings an edge and personality that her teammates feed off of. Whether she is making a play in the field, coming through with a huge hit or being the loudest person in the dugout, you always know Alex is there!

Alex is fiery, fearless, powerful and FUN β€” and those are exactly the qualities that have made her such a special part of Catalyst. We have loved getting to be a part of her journey over the last few years, and we could not be more excited that she gets to continue it right here in Minnesota at the Division I level!

A HUGE congratulations to Alex and the entire Oerther family, and thank you for trusting Catalyst to be part of the ride. We cannot wait to watch you bring all that power, competitiveness and ENERGY to St. Paul. The Tommies are getting a good one! πŸ’œπŸ”₯

BIGGGG TIMEEEEE CONGRATS to our very own Briley Laber (briley_laber | 2028 | SS/2B | 16U Catalyst National Smyth | Brandon, SD) on her verbal commitment and scholarship acceptance to continue her academic and athletic career playing Division I softball at the University of South Dakota! ❀️🀍🐾

This is Briley's fourth year with Catalyst and we have had the opportunity to watch Briley grow into one of those athletes who can impact a game in SO many ways. At shortstop, she plays with tremendous range, athleticism and instincts, and has the ability to make momentum swinging plays. She is smooth, confident and competitive in the middle of the field β€” and makes some pretty special plays look easy!

Offensively, Briley’s versatility is what makes her so dangerous. She can crush balls, find ways to get on base, execute when her team needs it and then completely change an inning with her speed once she’s on. She brings a dynamic element to our lineup and is the type of player who can beat you in more ways than one.

As talented as Briley is, the person behind the player is what we are most proud of. She is an incredibly hard worker, a great teammate and a kid who continues to show up ready to learn, compete and put the work in. She has earned this opportunity through years of consistency and commitment to her game, and getting to watch that journey firsthand has been pretty special for all of us at Catalyst!

A huge congratulations to the entire Laber family and thank you for trusting Catalyst to be a part of the journey. We cannot wait to see what the next chapter has in store for you in Vermillion β€” the Yotes got a GREAT one! 🐾❀️

HUUUUUGEEEE CONGRATS to our very own Mak Bierman (2028 | RHP/1B | 16U Catalyst National Smyth | Sioux Falls, SD) on her verbal commitment and scholarship acceptance to continue her academic and athletic career playing Division I softball at South Dakota State University! πŸ’™πŸ’›πŸ°

Mak is heading into Year 4 with Catalyst, and we could not be more proud of the player she has become. She has established herself as one of the premier two-way players in the Midwest β€” a BIG-TIME power pitcher AND power hitter who can completely change a game on either side of the ball. πŸ”₯

In the circle, Mak brings high velo, attacks hitters and pairs her velocity with an ability to change speeds that makes her incredibly tough to compete against. And when she steps into the box, you can expect the same kind of elite velo but this time coming off of her barrel! Her power is special, and there aren’t many athletes who can impact a game at such a high level both in the circle and at the plate.

But what makes this one even more exciting is knowing how much softball is still ahead of her. Mak has continued to work, develop and raise her ceiling every year she has been with us β€” and we cannot wait to watch what she does next!!

Congrats to Mak and the entire Bierman family on an incredibly well-earned opportunity! We are SO proud of you, Mak, and beyond grateful that Catalyst gets to be part of your journey. The Jacks are getting a SPECIAL one! πŸ°πŸ’™πŸ’›

Our South Dakota Catalyst athletes are in Minnesota competing this weekend, and when tonight’s games got washed out, they headed straight to the Portolite Pitching Mounds Pitching Lab in our Catalyst Facility in Savage to get some work in with SD Director & Head of Player Development Bailey Lange. πŸ’ͺ

One of the coolest parts of continuing to grow Catalyst across Minnesota and South Dakota is giving our athletes access to coaches, technology, facilities and development opportunities no matter which side of the border they call home!

S/O to Desiree Hinsch Tenley Stevenson and Ahryana Drake for a great session!!! Special props to South Dakota State Softball commit & 18U Lange player, Des, for throwing absolute gas tonight clocking in right around 68 MPH πŸ”₯

Best of luck to all of our athletes competing this weekend and let's hope the rain stays away 🀞

A huge thank you to South Dakota State University (South Dakota State Softball) and Coaches McSweeney, Bertke & Carrillo for inviting our 16U Catalyst National Smyth team to compete at the SDSU Fall Team Camp this weekend! πŸ’™

Our group put together an awesome weekend, finishing 3-0 with a win Saturday and two more on Sunday. More importantly, our athletes had another opportunity to compete in a Division I environment, play in front of college coaches, and continue building relationships at the next level!

It was a pretty special weekend for Catalyst in South Dakota all around β€” official visits, a few Division I commitments, great exposure for our athletes, and the opportunity to have 2027 SDSU commits Desiree Hinsch & Kensi Johnson from 18U National Lange join us for the weekend and play on their future home field! πŸ°πŸ’™

We are incredibly grateful to Coach McSweeney, Coach Bertke, Coach Carrillo and the entire SDSU Softball program for the invitation, hospitality, and opportunity they provided our athletes. Thank you for having Catalyst in Brookings!

A lot to be proud of and a lot more ahead!!!! 🩡
