Skrillex Walk-Ups & Fire Academy Dreams: How Carly Ruiz DJ's Her Own Path at USD

When Carly Ruiz steps into the batter's box, she isn't thinking about swing mechanics or pitch counts—she's thinking about the bass drop. The USD outfielder uses high-tempo EDM, from Skrillex to Subtronics, to tune out the pressure of Division 1 softball, allowing her to "buy into" the music, dance in the outfield, and become the most confident version of herself on the diamond. In this energetic conversation with Grant Gurtin, Carly reveals the origin of her DJ skills (learning from a local DJ in Ibiza after a Fisher concert), her ultimate dream of playing a set at Sunset Cliffs, and the psychology behind a perfect walk-up song. She discusses navigating the chaotic COVID recruiting landscape with the Firecrackers before visiting USD and instantly knowing she had found her home, falling in love with a team culture that makes even freezing games in the snow completely worth it. Beyond the turntables and the softball field, Carly shares her inspiring post-graduation plans: forgoing her extra year of athletic eligibility to enter the Fire Academy. Driven by a deep passion for psychology, she wants to be an active first responder who helps tackle mental health and PTSD on the front lines. She also provides an insider's scouting report on the Toreros' new freshmen and transfers, while reflecting on the legacy she wants to leave behind—a great teammate who cared deeply and always had fun.
