Hi! I'm Payton Cascio, a 2028 catcher and corner infielder from Lightridge High School (VA), where we were 2026 Class 5 Regional Champions and Virginia state runner-up. I play travel ball for VA Glory National 18U Mertz-Griffith, challenging myself by playing up against older players.
At 5'11", I bring a strong arm, natural power, and quick release behind the plate. I love being a vocal leader who keeps my team focused and energized.
I'm ranked #6 in Virginia for home runs (MaxPreps) and #13 catcher in the Northeast (Extra Inning Softball), but what matters most is being the kind of teammate my team can count on, someone who competes hard and never checks out of a game. My goal is to play college softball and continue growing as a player, leader, and teammate.
Two Grand Slams in One GameReally proud of playing three travel ball games the same day after coming runner-up in Virginia Class 5 championship. It was a full day of softball and two grand slams in one game was a highlight.

3-for-3 caught stealing vs RiverbendProud to keep the opposing team from scoring by catching three runners stealing in one game against Riverbend. It was a great defensive performance and a highlight of my season.
