No, she is not left handed. Here, she is playing up with 7th graders on the True team summer of 2013.

Kristen wrapped up her baseball All Star season with a triple and double (:23) in their only win in the double elimination tournament. They only won 1 of 9 pool-play games which served to seed teams for the season ending tournament. The LT Rookie Cavs had to play the #1 seed being the #8 seed. The only game they won during pool play was against the only team that the #1 seed lost to during pool play! The Cavs only lost 4-6 to the #1 seed who ended up winning the tournament. The tournament was held at the beautiful Round Rock Youth fields near the Dell Diamond

Kristen shoots 63% to score 30 of her team’s 38 points. For the first time she drives to the basket, and sinks several shots from the outside. This was her first time playing organized basketball. Every team had 1 or 2 HotShot players. She did not make the HotShots team.
