Since her freshman season, she has been putting the pieces together for her role as the leader of the team by setting the tone of "take no days off". She started all 63 games in her freshmen season at catcher and since has started in over 170 games.
This season she is second on the team in home runs, but accolades is not what makes her the leader and role model she is. Hamilton puts a lot of pressure on herself to be better and make the team better.
