FOXBURG — Cami McNany doesn't like to walk.

She has a bat. She wants to swing it.

“I could have a 3-0 count and I'll swing at a bad pitch,” McNany said. “My dad gets mad, but I want to buy myself an extra pitch.”

Most times, that extra pitch the senior catcher on the A-C Valley softball team sees ends up in the outfield.

McNany has been a hit machine in her career with the Falcons. Monday she became the first A-C Valley softball player to record 100 hits in a career in just 53 games played.

She's batting .846 this season (11-of-13). She hit .704 last season — second in the state in all classes. She's struck out just one time since her freshman campaign and didn't fan at all as a junior.

So it's no surprise the teams the Falcons play don't want to face her.

They may not have a choice.

Even issuing an intentional walk wasn't a guarantee in the past for opposing teams trying to limit McNany's damage at the plate.

Against Keystone two years ago, McNany turned around two pitches far out of the zone on intentional-walk attempts for doubles.

Since, the rule has changed and teams can just put a hitter on first with an intentional walk without throwing a pitch.

“I was really upset when I heard that rule,” McNany said, chuckling.

“That's the most frustrating part — the intentional walk,” McNany added. “People say it's such an honor to have teams do that to you. But I hate it.”

McNany, though, does plenty enough damage when teams do pitch to her.

That's in large part because of all the softball she has played already in her life.

When she was 12, she was playing up on 16-and-under traveling teams. When she turned 13, she played on U-18 teams.

The experience helped her immensely, even though sometimes it was awkward for McNany.

“It felt great to play on those teams and do well, I won't lie,” McNany said. “I was 12-, 13-years old playing up with 18-year-olds. We had to fill out what we intended on majoring in college. I was like, 'I don't know. I'm 12.'

“We had to write college letters and I always thought, 'They can't talk to me. This is a waste of time.”

But it wasn't.

McNany is very much on the recruiting map.

Division I schools like Miami University (Ohio), Ohio University and Kent State University have shown interest.

A slew of other schools have also come calling.

“It's nice to know I can pick where I want to play and get an education based on my major,” McNany said.

McNany takes her craft seriously.

She can be found most days in the family garage, hitting ball after ball off a tee.

McNany is a big advocate for tee work and said that is one of the biggest reasons why she is so prolific at the plate.

“It's so great for your swing,” she said. “I load my hips, get my legs into it, have a big follow through. It helps so much, for sure.”

McNany also excels in other sports.

She was the leading scorer on the A-C Valley basketball team this season. The Falcons finished runner-up in District 9 and won two state playoff games, including an upset of WPIAL-champion OLSH.

McNany also won the district title in girls golf — despite playing for only six weeks.

“We bought a set of clubs at a yard sale,” said her father assistant softball coach Chris McNany. “And she goes out and wins D-9. “Everything she does, she's instantly good at.”

“It's kind of irritating,” he added, laughing.

It's sometimes irritating to Cami's older sister, Lauren, too, who was a standout athlete in three sports herself when she played for the Falcons.

“She always gives me heck about it,” Cami said. “I did try to throw the javelin and I wasn't good at it. It just wasn't for me.

“So, that's something.”
