(KFSN) — Out in Madera Ranchos, Liberty’s Rylee Bocchini is on the hunt for another Northwest Sequoia title. “She’s a phenomenal athlete,” says coach Keith Davis. I saw that day one coming in.” In March, the senior catcher did something so unlikely, it seems impossible. In six straight at-bats against Riverdale and Parlier, Rylee hit six straight home runs. Nobody in Central Section history has ever accomplished the feat. “Once I got to like my fourth one, I was like, ‘Oh shoot, when am I going to stop?'” Rylee would finish the two-game stretch 8-9, with six home runs and 13 RBIs. It’s a tear she credits to her time behind the dish. “Honestly, I think being a catcher helps me be such a great hitter,” she said. The dual-threat also caught the eye of Fresno State. “My number-one was Fresno State,” she said. In 2022, Rylee verbally committed to play for the Bulldogs — an opportunity helped made possible by her coach.
