In this week’s CCX Sports Spotlight segment, John Jacobson profiles University of Minnesota softball outfielder Natalie DenHartog. The 2018 Hopkins High School graduate is a senior outfielder for the Gophers. An All-Big Ten player since her freshman year, DenHartog carries a .358 career batting average and is Minnesota’s all-time leader in career homeruns with 54. Natalie says she will take advantage of the extra year of eligibility granted by the NCAA and return for a fifth season in 2023. DenHartog already has her undergraduate degree at Minnesota in Communications Studies and is now working on her Masters degree in Organizational Leadership Policy and Development.
