Sandercock goes pro, joins Athletes Unlimited
Special to the Outlook
Florida State star pitcher Kathryn Sandercock, the fourth overall pick in the 2023 Athletes Unlimited Softball College Draft, has signed on to compete in the fourth Athletes Unlimited Softball Championship season set to start July 28 at Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont, Illinois.
The 2023 ACC Pitcher of the Year, ACC Tournament MVP and a 2023 NFCA Second Team All-American, Sandercock led Florida State to the ACC Tournament title in 2022 and 2023. Sandercock and the Seminoles defeated Oklahoma State, Washington and Tennessee on their way to the Women’s College World Series Championship Series.
She was recently added to the Team USA roster for the 2023 WBSC World Cup – Group A set to take place in Fingal-Dublin, Ireland, July 11-15.
“Throughout her stellar career at Florida State, Kat inspired so many with her competitive nature and obvious love for the game,” said Cheri Kempf, Athletes Unlimited Senior Vice President and Director of Softball. “We are thrilled to be able to provide the professional platform through which she will continue to inspire fans of all ages and we are especially looking forward to returning a former Little League World Series participant to the Pro Games at the Little League World Series this summer.”
Sandercock joins Jessie Warren, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2018 WCWS while leading FSU to the national championship, as former Seminoles participating in Athletes Unlimited.
