Lauren's freshman year, she hit 30 home runs, earning a batting average of a .357. Her sophomore year, she hit 30 home runs again, with a batting average of .458. Her junior year, she was injured, but still hit 12 home runs. If you didn't know, 72 home runs is a heck of a lot of home runs. That is 10th in career home runs. She is my idol. It has always been a dream of mine to play on a D1 college team that goes to the Women's College World Series, and she has been there 3 times, and no doubt will be there a fourth.
It is the most amazing thing to watch Lauren play a game of softball. She is always cheering and it is awesome when she hits a home run. She still gets beyond excited when she hits a home run, pumping her arms in the air and gliding into home to her teammates. She has a love for the game that makes her spectacular. You can tell she is a team player, one of the most important characteristics an athlete can have.
Not only is Lauren an incredible softball player, but she is also very talented at singing, and is very funny. I always enjoy going through her vines and other social media. Yeah I know that's kinda creepy, but you know you have that one famous person you do it to also. She's even done an interview where they had her hit different types of fruits. Probably one of the more entertaining things I watched.
Lauren Chamberlaun is the kind of softball player that makes little kids want to be great. Everyone aspire to have as amazing of a college career as she did. I know that she inspires me to work harder to get to the D1 level, and eventually achieving my dream of playing in the WCWS.
