Greensburg star softball pitcher commits to Big Ten team

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – A standout Greensburg softball player will be taking her talents to the Big Ten! 

Harper Adams officially committed to Purdue University softball during a signing ceremony on Wednesday. 

Adams has been nothing but dominant on the mound for the Pirates as well as in travel ball. 

She holds numerous school pitching records including season strikeouts, career strikeouts ERA and wins. 

Each year she has finished in the top 10 in almost all the Max Preps Pitching Stats as well. 

Adams will likely add more school records as she still has her senior season this coming spring. 

Since 2017, she has played Elite Travel ball and has traveled to more than 20 states to face top competition. 

Harper has also been invited to pitch for an 18U National Softball team competing internationally in San Salvador later this month. 

Between travel ball and high school, she has pitched more than 2,200 innings which has resulted in 3,838 strikeouts and a 1.45 ERA.

Some other accomplishments include multiple EIAC Player of the Year honors, Indiana All-State recognition, 60 travel ball no-hitters, and 14 perfect games.

“Behind every statistic is countless hours of practice, sacrifice, travel, and dedication to a sport she loves. Watching her journey from a young softball player to a Purdue University commit and now an athlete receiving international opportunities has been incredibly rewarding for our family,” said her mom, September.
