Hello, my name is Samantha Menne ( Skillingstad ). I was a little girl when I fell in love with pitching and my passion for the game has continued to evolve. Even as a little kid, my dream was to get a scholarship and play college softball. I’m not going to sugar coat it, it was a lot of work, a lot of hours in the gym, on the field and in my mind. Just like Michael Jordan said “ champions are made when no one is watching.”

I grew up using the Pitch Break Spinner. My dad mounted one in my bedroom and I would spin it 250 times in the morning before school and 250 times at night before bed. Come to find out, I was the best riseball pitcher in the Pacific Northwest and I became an Oregon Duck because of it.
