Caleigh will be playing outfield in the Queen of Diamonds North showcase, she also pitches and plays outfield for her summer team, Ohio Classics 02.
This event continues to attract athletes from over 20 states and two Canadian Provinces. The Queen of Diamonds North is in its 20th season. The event has over 2,400 applicants in which 364 athletes are selected. This showcase is very unique as athletes actually ‘apply to’ this event individually and are selected based on many criteria ranging from ability, potential, academics, grad year, coaches requests and referrals.
