Built by her father’s own agency, the Denham Springs pitcher and utility player now has a player-owned site where college coaches can find verified stats, game film, and a direct line to recruit her

DENHAM SPRINGS, La. Addyson Sanchez, a class of 2030 right-handed pitcher and utility player from Denham Springs, Louisiana, has launched a custom college-recruiting website built by BlakSheep Creative. The site gives college coaches one place to review her positions and measurables, watch pitching and hitting film, check her showcase schedule, and reach her directly, and Addyson owns it outright.
For travel ball families, that single link solves a real problem. A recruit’s profile usually lives on rented platforms and scattered highlight clips, none of which the athlete controls. When a subscription lapses or a service shuts down, the profile and the link a coach saved can disappear with it. The new site puts everything a coach needs on one fast, mobile-friendly page that Addyson keeps for the length of her recruitment and beyond.
Owning the site changes what a family can do with it. Addyson can update her stats the day she throws a new velocity, add film the week she records it, and hand a coach the same clean link at every showcase for years. There is no per-month fee to keep the page online and no platform deciding how her profile looks or who can see it.
The timing matters. College softball is one of the hardest sports to reach the next level in. Only about 6.5 percent of high school softball players go on to compete in NCAA softball, and just 2.1 percent reach Division I, according to the NCAA’s research on the probability of competing beyond high school. In a field that thin, being easy for a coach to find and evaluate is part of the work.
“Focused. Coachable. Competing Forward,” reads the tagline on Addyson’s site, a line that fits a young pitcher who competes at every position on the field.
The website leads with the details a coach checks first: number, positions, class year, height, bats and throws, and measurables, all visible at the top of the page. From there, it opens into the full evaluation:
- Pitching and hitting film, organized so a coach sees her arm and her bat without hunting
- An About section that frames her game in the circle and at the plate
- Verified measurables, including pitch velocity and exit velocity, that update as they grow
- A live showcase and tournament schedule so coaches know exactly where to see her play
- A prominent contact section that routes straight to Addyson and her family
The build is made for how coaches actually work. The pages load fast on a phone between games, the film plays inline without a login or a detour to a third-party account, and the measurables are labeled as verified, so a coach knows what is confirmed and what is still being tested. Nothing asks a coach to create an account or dig through a folder of unsorted clips.
Coaches increasingly form a first impression online before they ever see a player in person, which makes verified stats and clean, watchable film more valuable than a stack of highlight links. Building that home base early is not premature. Under NCAA rules, Division I softball coaches can begin contacting recruits as early as September 1 of an athlete’s junior year, per the NCAA Division I softball recruiting calendar. For a class of 2030 players, starting early is an advantage.
Only about 6.5 percent of high school softball players compete in NCAA softball, and 2.1 percent reach Division I.
Addyson’s on-field case is already building. She was named an All-State Showcase nominee in 2024 and 2026, and earned a spot on the Denham Springs High School softball program while still playing travel ball for the Lady Dukes Sibley out of Walker, Louisiana. Her site lists a current pitch velocity range of 50 to 55 miles per hour and an exit velocity range of 55 to 60 miles per hour, numbers that are likely to move as she keeps testing.
As a right-handed pitcher who also plays first, third, catcher, and the outfield, she gives a coach flexibility at several spots in the lineup. That utility value is part of the pitch on the page: a roster can use an arm that also swings and covers multiple positions, and the site frames her that way instead of leaving a coach to piece it together.
The recruiting site was designed and built by BlakSheep Creative through its Recruit Spotlight program, which builds custom, player-owned websites for travel ball and high school athletes. For founder Clint Sanchez, this one was personal. Addyson is his daughter, and she got the same site he now builds for other recruiting families.
“I build recruiting sites for a living, so I was not going to let my own daughter’s recruiting live on a platform we rent and can lose,” said Clint Sanchez, founder of BlakSheep Creative and Addyson’s father. “We gave her a site she owns outright, one that looks as serious as she plays and hands a college coach everything they need in a single scroll. It keeps working for her at a showcase, or asleep the night before one.”
That perspective, a parent who also builds the tool, is the reason the Recruit Spotlight program exists. Sanchez wanted every recruiting family to have what he built for Addyson: a home base the athlete controls, not a rented profile that disappears when a subscription lapses.
“Every travel ball family I know pours money and weekends into this, and then the profile ends up somewhere they do not own,” Sanchez said. “A player should walk away from the process with the site, the film, and the stats in her own hands. That is the whole idea behind Recruit Spotlight.”
The program is aimed at Louisiana travel ball and high school families who want a professional recruiting presence without handing control to a subscription platform. Each site is custom-built, owned by the athlete, and made to grow with her through high school and the recruiting window.
