The New York Rise

A professional fastpitch team competing in their first season in 2024. Based on Long Island, New York, our mission is to enable elite female softball athletes to continue playing beyond college at a pro-level, showcase their talents, and create female role models along the way. We are excited to be part of the movement to promote women in professional sports!

During our inaugural season, we opened the season as Scenic City Cup champions and placed in third place during the Champion Cup Series. We completed the season with a record of 10-12 as an independent team in the AFP (Association of Fastpitch Professionals).
