ISS Senior Signs To Play Division I Softball

Indian Springs School senior Chloe Yeager ’16 today signed a National Letter of Intent to play Division I softball at Lipscomb University, a private liberal arts college in Nashville.

Yeager, who signed for the positions of pitcher, first baseman, and power hitter, plays softball both for Indian Springs School and for the Birmingham Vipers, a girls fast-pitch travel team.

“Chloe is not only our best softball player; she is also a delight to work with,” says Indian Springs School Softball Coach Richard Theibert. “She helps the other players and always brings up their level of play. We know she’ll be a great asset to Lipscomb.”

Vipers Head Coach Ryan Parks, who has coached Yeager in more than 450 games, pointed to her strong character as the secret to her success. “She has competed in 10 national championships. She has had two top 10 finishes [for ASA Nationals], two [ASA] state championships, and multiple national top 25 [ASA and PGF] finishes. She has sacrificed, and through it all she has stayed super-dedicated, with focus and discipline and her desire to be a great player. That’s why she is where she is. She gives 100 percent.”

Yeager, who pitched the Indian Springs School Softball Team to the 2015 Area Championship in May, has been named a USFA World Series Champion in 2011, an ASA State Champion in 2011 and 2015, and an AHSAA All-South All-Star in 2015.

“My experience at Springs has been life-changing,” says Yeager. “Not only have I grown academically, but being able to serve in a mentoring role on the softball field has allowed me to grow as an athlete as well. Springs has prepared me for my next chapter at Lipscomb University, and I could not be more excited!”
