A Love for the Game Rooted in Family From the moment Mitchell Armstrong first stepped onto the diamond at age five, softball became more than just a sport—it became a family affair. Coached by his mother throughout his youth and inspired by his Grandpa Jack, Mitchell’s early years were filled with passion, discipline, and drive. “My mom and brother have pushed me to become the player I am today,” he says. “They always encouraged me to do my best and love the game.” The Dirt Guy Known affectionately as “The Dirt Guy,” Mitchell embraces a unique pre-pitch ritual: grabbing a handful of dirt before every pitch. “It reminds me of the happiness this sport gives me,” he shares. “And it helps my hands stay dry!” Hard Lessons, Stronger Resolve In 2011, a fractured foot kept Mitchell from playing in his first provincials—a heartbreaking setback that taught him the importance of caution and preparation. That experience fueled his determination to stay mentally and physically ready for every big stage, including multiple ISC World Tournament appearances.
