ABOUT
Alabama-bound 2020 SS Bailey Dowling was unable to play for Georgia Impact Premier-Lewis this past summer because she was dropping bombs on international competition for Team USA’s U-19 Junior National Team.
“I was able to travel around the world last summer with the 19U JWNT,” Dowling said. “We traveled to Paris and played in the first International Softball Game in Ireland. Our team placed third in the USA Women’s International Cup and took home the gold medal in the 19U World Cup. Playing on a team with girls who just finished playing in the Women’s College World Series was amazing.”
“Also, playing against the Women’s USA Team was definitely a highlight. Standing in the batter’s box with Monica Abbott on the mound was a definitely a moment I’ll never forget. Hitting back-to-back home runs in the bronze medal game against the Scrap Yard International pro team is also a highlight of my summer. I’m thankful for the opportunity to represent my country and wear USA across my chest all summer.”
Alabama-bound 2020 RHP Alex Salter is happy to have Dowling back in the lineup for Georgia Impact, which won the PGF 18U Premier national title in 2018 and finished as runner-up in 2019 and in the future when they go on to Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
“Bailey has the type of personality that makes you want to be around her,” Salter said. “She is outgoing and friendly and genuine. I know from the moment I met her we would be lifelong friends. She is a difference maker on the field.”
“She has confidence and an amazing ability to read the situation and react to the play. I love having Bailey on the field with me. She always has my back. Her strength at the plate is a huge asset to the team. I know good things will happen when she steps in the batter box. She is full of energy and confidence. I am extremely excited to share our next journey as teammates at Alabama! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!”
Florida-committed 2021 OF Cali Decker is in awe of the 5-foot-10 Dowling’s explosiveness.
“Bailey Dowling is an amazing player and teammate,” Decker said. “She is a leader in everything she does and always works hard. She has a bat like no other, and she is a stud in the field. I’m super excited to take on the summer with her this year. She’s a complete powerhouse.”
Washington-bound 2020 SS Raigan Barrett said Dowling, who will be ranked in the top 5 in the 2020 Extra Elite 100, pushes everyone around her to be better.
“Well, first off, she is an absolute stud and hits bombs,” Barrett said. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone hit the ball so far not only in BP, but in games as well. She is the sweetest person ever. One of the coolest things about Bailey is she gets so excited for the success of her teammates. She is the first one to hype you up. She is also extremely hard working and definitely pushes me and the rest of them team to get better.”
