Marshfield’s Farrah Phillips selected as USSSA Fastpitch All-American heading to the 2024 All-American Games

Farrah Phillips #00

Farrah Phillips, daughter of Wayne Phillips and Renee Horswill-Phillips, has been selected as a USSSA Fastpitch Softball All-American and will represent her hometown of Marshfield, WI and the Midwest Region at the Space Coast Complex in Viera, FL this summer during the 2024 All-American Games.

Farrah is a 7th grader at Columbus Catholic Middle School and has been playing softball since she was 6 years old. Her main position is pitcher and her secondary positions are short stop and center field.

One of the goals she set for herself at age 7 was to play and pitch in the All American Games after watching the event on TV. Through many years of training, lessons, traveling softball, competitions and countless hours of practice, she achieved her goal! For the past 2 years, Farrah has played on the Extreme elite travel team out of Oshkosh, WI and she will be attending tournaments this summer for Midwest Nationals in Des Moines, IA, Nationals in Nashville, TN and others.

Her ultimate goal is to receive a D1 scholarship as a pitcher for Baylor University in Waco, Texas. Being named to the USA Softball All-American team is the highest honor a player can receive and immediately establishes the player as one of the top athletes in the United States. Only 360 girls nationwide will have the opportunity to wear the USA Softball jersey. Farrah Phillips is one of 26 athletes/2 teams chosen to represent the Midwest region in the 12 and under division at the 2024 All-American Games this summer. All-American athletes are selected based on performance and scores for their primary positions and at bats and ultimately selected by elected All-American committee members and officials to receive this prestigious award.

The USSSA All American Fastpitch program consists of six regions in the United States:
West, South, Midwest, Southwest, Northeast and Great Lakes. The 2024 USSSA Fastpitch All American Games will take place July 29 through August 23, 2024 in Viera, Florida. You can watch every pitch from the All American Games LIVE at USSSALive.com
