Let's CELI-brate


Addison Celi | @addison_celi26 | X

Addison Celi was a name that was known among Suffolk county girls softball even before this season began, but she has now positioned herself as the top player in the county. Celi made the top 100 team this season and continues to rack up the stats.

No game this year was more impressive than in their win against Hauppague. Celi was masterful, striking out 18 batters and allowing just two hits in a 6-4 win. She wasn't done there as she also went 2-for-2 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored.

That kind of high K and brilliant pitching performances have been on repeat all season for Celi. She has 9 wins on the campaign and has struck out 9 or more batters in 11 of her 12 starts. In fact she has struck out 13 or more batters eight times this year, and that eye popping 18 number twice. With the bat she has also had a hit in all but one game she started and her dual production is nearly unmatched throughout the county.

Westhampton is 11-3 overall, 4-3 in league play and with just three games to go Celi's name is near the top of everyone's list for this season's best player.
