“It is very exciting for us to bring in a high caliber athlete like Mia to our staff,” said Bumgarner said. “She is a very knowledgeable and hardworking individual and our players will benefit greatly from her coaching.”

Blochaviak played at Erskine College in Due West, S.C. from 2015-18. While at Erskine, the middle infielder and outfielder posted a career batting average of .306 and a .932 fielding percentage.

In 2016, Blochaviak was named team Defensive Player of the Year as well as being named All-Conference for the Carolinas Conference.

Prior to attending to Erskine, Blochaviak played varsity softball at Alexander Central High School for four years. She was a part of three state title winning teams, including the undefeated national championship team in 2014.

During her senior season at ACHS, Blochaviak was named All-District, All-State. She was also named All-District, All-State, NFCA 1st Team, All-South First Team, All-American Nominee, and was named the North Carolina State MVP during her junior season for the Cougars.
