Maddie McPherson

Pitcher

Hi everyone! I'm so excited that you are here! My name is Maddie McPherson, and I am a lefty pitcher on the Florida Vibe. I spent my first three seasons at the University of Georgia, where I then transferred, spent two seasons and graduated from Georgia Tech. For my last year of eligibility, I grad transferred to North Carolina State University, where I completed my master's degree and played my last season with the WolfPack. I am planning to play professionally in Japan this upcoming year in the Japan Diamond Softball League.
