Welcome to Dear Younger Me, a heartfelt series from Extra Inning Softball featuring letters from our 2026 Commit Crew as they head into their senior seasons. Each week, we spotlight one athlete’s honest reflection—written to the younger version of herself who first dared to dream big and lace up her cleats.

This week, we hear from Kinley Pitman, a resilient competitor and future Ole Miss Rebel. Pitman’s letter dives into the sacrifices, doubts, and long hours that shape the journey of a softball player chasing big dreams. From the sore muscles and missed milestones to the joy of lifelong friendships and unforgettable moments, her story reminds us that every step—no matter how hard—is worth it.

Keep reading to see what Pitman would say to the little girl who never stopped believing.
