Watch the young athlete, who [graduates](http://www.scout-softball.com/players/m/marisa%5Farriaga.php "undefined") from high school in 2017, effortlessly pick up the metal bat with her right foot, switch hands behind her back, and hit the ball, which flies up after she kicks the tee with her right foot. The five-second video is so mesmerizing that you cannot help but watch it at least three times in a row. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4008364/softball-trick-shot-vine-twitter/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4008364/softball-trick-shot-vine-twitter/"},"headline":"Watch This Girl's Amazing Softball Trick Shot","datePublished":"2015-08-24T18:34:50.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:23:46.573Z","description":"A homerun, for sure","url":"https://time.com/4008364/softball-trick-shot-vine-twitter/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Olivia B.
