Ecclesia College

Kaylee McDaniel is a junior this year at Ecclesia College. She attended Cheyenne high school for four years where she played softball. McDaniel also received a coaches' vote award for the Western Oklahoma Catcher of the Year, while she was in high school. During her high school career, she also played for a travel ball organization known as Oklahoma Blaze. She also previously went to Western Oklahoma State College in 2019 and 2020, and then transferred to Northern Oklahoma College for two years where she acquired her Associates degree in science. Kaylee has spent most of her experience as a softball player as a catcher, and is a teammate that is always willing to catch her pitchers. She shows up and does her job, even if she is not 100% physically. In the past, McDaniel has dealt with some injuries that have hindered her playing time or ability to play at all, but this year she is hungry to be out on the field. While her main position is catcher, she can also track down balls in the outfield and is a quick player. She will definitely be an asset to the Lady Royals softball team this upcoming 2023 season, whether behind the plate or in the field.
