Bio
2019 (Junior): Did not appear in any games.
2018 (Sophomore) [Game-by-Game Stats]: Appeared in 22 games mostly as a pinch runner, but started three games all as the designated player ... Came in as a pinch runner 13 times and scored four runs.
2017 (Freshman) [Game-by-Game Stats]: Played in 11 games, starting in four, and made 15 plate appearances ... Recorded one putout.
HIGH SCHOOL: 2016 graduate from Katy High School in Katy, Texas … Coached by Kalum Haack and Meghan Brown ... Part of the team that won the 2015 6A Softball State Championship … Earned First Team All-District and Academic All-District honors during high school career … Comes from an athletic family, as her brother, Chase Valdez, played baseball for Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas.
PERSONAL: Born on May 18, 1998 in Houston, Texas ... Raised in Katy, Texas ... Daughter of Edwin and Sharri Valdez ... Has an older brother Chase ... Her former high school teammates currently playing at the Division I level include Katie Clark, Stephen F. Austin; and Orey Burrough, Penn. ... Majoring in health and exercise science ... Wants to be a physicians assistant ... Chose CSU because: "The campus was exactly what I was imagining when I wanted a college experience and the people were genuinely so nice on my first visit. Coach Fisher, Coach P and Coach Martinez were the nicest coaches I've ever met and I liked their coaching style and how they interact with their players. Also, all of the girls on the team seemed like they were genuinely excited to be there. It's just so different that what it's like at home and I wanted to have a new and different experience." ... Favorite athlete is Alex Bregman.
FISHER ON VALDEZ: “Nicole Valdez was a great find for us, and we feel very fortunate that she chose Colorado State. She just matches up so well with our needs in this class and is so solid in many areas. She’s got great power and fast hands at the plate, soft hands and a plus arm in the infield, and runs the bases very well. She is an exceptional student, person, and athlete.”
