Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with Virginia Unity and Pace High School star, as well as, the #1 overall ranked player for the class of 2024 by Extra Innings Softball, Florida native, Jayden Heavener.

 Jayden has burst upon the scene in the last couple season’s and is now one of the most sought after recruits in the nation.  Last season as a Freshman at Pace High School, she went 11-3 with 252 strikeouts in 105 innings pitched and a 1.42 ERA, good enough for her to be named the Florida 5A Pitcher of the Year. 

In September she was named the #1 overall player by Extra Innings for her 2024 class, a recognition that’s been held by the likes of Megan Faraimo and Jordy Bahl to name a few.

We’re gonna talk to Jayden about all of this, along with her love for cross fit, scary movies and much more.

Jayden was an absolute treat to chat with and we’re so excited to see what the future has in store for this amazing individual.
