My name is Reese Ruhlman. I attended North Branch High School, where I excelled as a 4x varsity athlete in softball, volleyball, and basketball. I played travel ball for ICE Fastpitch Pingston and competed at the NCAA Division I level in softball for two years at Detroit Mercy and for four years at Oakland University, primarily as a shortstop and third baseman.

 

Current Pursuits:

I am currently pursuing my Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in graduate school.

 

As my college softball career comes to a close, I realized my desire to remain connected to the game and inspire others to appreciate it as much as I do. I am thrilled to have the chance to do just that. My passion lies in hitting and infield play, as well as the mental performance aspects of the sport.
