The Jennie Finch Empowerment Award is lighting up young softball stars—this year’s winner, Alina Elias, joins last year’s champ Kourtney Jones-Caldwell as a Houston Astros Nike RBI catcher who’s turning heads on and off the field. Backed by Arm & Hammer, the $10K scholarship celebrates leadership, grit, and integrity—and it’s already changing lives. Finch herself isn’t just handing out trophies; she’s mentoring, offering dugout advice, and treating these athletes like future leaders. For Kourtney, last year’s win fueled her college dreams at Langston University, while Alina plans to play, study, and eventually build her career in softball. This award doesn’t just fund dreams—it builds futures.
