Toni Baysa<\/p><\/div>\n

Toni Baysa’s breakthrough season on the softball field came early.<\/p>\n

“My greatest memory from childhood was during my Bobby Sox (youth softball) days, when I was 9 and made the All-Star team,” she recalled.<\/p>\n

“My dad (Anthony) was coaching me then. I’d never made the All-Star team before that year, and when they called my name, I was so happy. We got to travel to California, and it was great.”<\/p>\n

Baysa’s career in softball has been on an upward path ever since. At Mililani High School she was a two-time All-Conference player under coach Rose Antonio in 2011 and 2012. Now a senior outfielder for Hawaii Pacific University, Baysa is looking for the right ending to her college career. She is off to a good start in 2015, having batted .364 to date, with four RBI and a fielding percentage of 100 percent.<\/p>\n

Baysa recently took some time away from practice and the classroom to visit with MidWeek<\/em>‘s Central Oahu Islander<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Who has had the biggest impact on your life? <\/strong>My dad, definitely. Just talking about him I’m going to cry. He’s really supportive. He’ll do whatever he can to sacrifice for our family. He works 16-hour days just to give us the best chance (at succeeding).<\/p>\n

What was the biggest adjustment in moving from prep softball to the college level? <\/strong>Definitely the workouts in the fall, which is like our off-season. We have to make sure we’re in top shape, so we’re always running, lifting and conditioning. My freshman year was intense. I thought high school conditioning had been hard.<\/p>\n

What is your favorite road destination in the PacWest Conference? <\/strong>I like when we go to play Cal-Baptist and Azusa Pacific. They have beautiful fields, especially Cal-Baptist. It’s immaculate.<\/p>\n

When you surf the Internet, what website do you go to the most? <\/strong>It will sound a little nerdy, but I’m always on Blackboard for school. I have three online classes this semester. I also go on Google a lot.<\/p>\n

What film could you watch over and over? <\/strong>A Walk to Remember<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Who are three of your favorite musical artists? <\/strong>I like Drake, I love Beyonce, and I also like Taylor Swift.<\/p>\n

When you have free time, how do you like to spend it? <\/strong>At the beach. I like Sandy’s, and Keiki’s on the North Shore. If I have my niece (Hayden), I like to go to Lanikai.<\/p>\n

Where do you see yourself in 10 years? <\/strong>I’m hoping I’m a nurse already.<\/p>\n

What is your least favorite household chore? <\/strong>Cleaning the bathroom. I can’t do it. I leave it to my sisters.<\/p>\n

If you were planning a trip, what would be your dream destination? <\/strong>I’d actually like to travel the world. If I had to pick one, I would go to New York for Christmas. I played in the snow in Colorado once — I was 3 or 4 — and got frostbite.<\/p>\n

You’re stuck on Kaho‘olawe and can have just one food. What would it be? <\/strong>I eat everything. I can’t pick. I don’t want to sound basic, but I love my chocolate. I love to have chocolate in my life.<\/p>\n

Given the chance, what celebrity would you most like to meet? <\/strong>I’ll have to go with Beyonce again. She’s great.<\/p>\n
