Who is she? Chelsea Zgrabik, a former catcher and slugger for the Florida Gulf Coast Eagles.
What is she known for? During her career as an Eagle, Zgrabik batted .333, with 42 career home runs and 153 RBIs. She committed just six field errors during her playing days, and posted a career on-base percentage of .422. A 2-time all-region honoree and 3-time all-conference standout, Zgrabik was named the ASun Co-Player of the Year in 2013.
Here’s something interesting…Chelsea comes from an athletic family. Her dad and uncle were both drafted to NHL teams; Michael, her father, was drafted to the Maple Leafs, while her uncle, David, was taken by the Blackhawks.
Quotable quote: “I always bring this up in conversation, but time management has been the biggest skill/ lesson that I have taken into non-softball life. I swear there is nothing like ’15 minutes early is on time’ being stuck in your head… I have prided myself on being early, never late, and being able to multi-task like a champ as well.”
What’s she up to now? Now Mrs. Chelsea Davis, her playing career is not over! Following her graduation from FGCU, the slugger joined a slowpitch softball team that plays two weekends a month for a 6-month season. She also belongs to Team USA’s slowpitch organization, now in her third season, and is a player rep for Easton Sports in that role. Outside of softball, Chelsea is just a few months away from finishing her BSN degree and embarking on a career in the medical field as a nurse.
