MANILA – Kim Kianna Dy is the latest member of the now-defunct F2 Logistics to sign with PLDT High Speed Hitters.
The High Speed Hitters completed a busy season on Sunday when they announced Dy as the newest member of their roster. PLDT previously signed two former freight carriers in Kim Fajardo and Maguey Barron. The move reunites the trio with Mika Reyes, who was their classmate at De La Salle University.
“Getting out of your comfort zone can be scary sometimes. But at the same time, that’s when you realize that you can learn a lot from your new coaches and teammates,” Dee said in a statement released by the team.
“Knowing that there is still so much to learn inspires me to thrive and work harder. It will take a lot of hard work, but I hope we can meet the expectations set for us here at PLDT,” she added.
Dy missed the entire second PVL All-Filipino Conference due to a knee injury she sustained in the invitational conference.
In the PLDT, she is expected to form a 1-2 punch alongside Fil-Canadian outfielder Savannah Davison, who made an immediate impact for the High Speed Hitters in the season-ending conference. PLDT finished in fifth place in the Second All-Filipino Conference with a win-loss record of 7-4.
The addition of the former F2 Logistics trio boosts PLDT’s hopes of climbing to the top level of the PVL in the upcoming 2024 season.
Before acquiring Fajardo, Baron and Dy, High Speed released hitters Mich Morente, Mean Mendrez and Anj Legacion.
Other former members of F2 who have found new homes are Dawn Macandili and Jov Fernandez (Cignal); Ivy Lacsina (Nxled); Ara Galang and Abi Marano (Cherry Tejo); and Joey Dacoron (Petro Jazz).
