VYPE: What was it about softball that really drew you to the sport at a young age?
ARCHIBALD: When I was younger, I grew up watching my brother play baseball. I wanted to be just like him, so I started to play t-ball. After two years, my parents suggested I play softball, so I watched some college softball teams and decided to give it a try. What drew me in originally was running the bases and scoring, honestly. A couple of years later, I loved being able to get people out and hitting. This is what continued my passion to play over the years.
VYPE: Outside of softball what do you like to do?
ARCHIBALD: Outside of softball, I love to read and write.
VYPE: What is something not a ton of people know about you?
ARCHIBALD: Not a ton of people know that I have a bow and arrow. Because of where I live, I’m not really able to practice how I liked to, but I would love to really use my bow and arrow more.
VYPE: When you are at the plate, what is going through your mind?
ARCHIBALD: I think about what I should do to go around the defense and get on. I think about whether I should bunt, soft slap, or power slap. Then once I decide, I think about what I need to do to execute what I want.
VYPE: What’s your walk-up song and why?
ARCHIBALD: Unfortunately for high school we do not have walk up songs. If we did, I would like to have Really Really by Kevin Gates because I like the way the song sounds, and it makes me feel confident.
VYPE: What is your Netflix binge?
ARCHIBALD: Criminal Minds
VYPE: What is your favorite all-time movie?
ARCHIBALD: The Benchwarmers
VYPE: What do you see yourself doing in 10 years?
ARCHIBALD: In 10 years, I see myself having a stable job and hopefully starting a family.
VYPE: If you could represent a product, what would it be?
ARCHIBALD: Mine would be Chick-fil-A.
