Speed & Agility Intern
My name is Riley Price, and I am a right-handed pitcher for the Utah Tech University Trailblazers. I’ve completed three seasons of collegiate softball and will begin my fourth in 2027.
I’ve been playing softball since I was 8 years old, building years of competitive experience along the way. The game has taken me across the country with different teams and challenges that have shaped my journey both as an athlete and as a person.
Through the guidance of great coaches and consistent strength training, I’ve been able to grow and reach this level. I’m grateful for how far I’ve come and excited for what’s ahead in my career.
