100 Morgan Neal
#100 - Morgan Neal
IF Team North Florida Tulsa
Morgan was a 2nd Team Full Count Softball All-American this spring and in the fall switched to Team North Florida. She's a lefty middle infielder who has all the tools and has 2.7 home-to-first speed with a 66 mph overhand throw. She hits over .500 in high school and is a multi-year Arkansas All-State honoree. Morgan has the speed to turn gap shots into triples but can surprise you with her power too. She has great range at short but would succeed at any infield and even outfield spot.
99 Kylie Bass
#99 - Kylie Bass
P East Cobb Bullets- Bass Georgia Southern
Kylie injured her knee in April and is out till January, but she's ahead of schedule in rehabbing the ACL. Coming back from injury will be no problem for the battle-tested pitcher who is the daughter of coach Buster Bass and is known for her competitiveness and toughness. Smart too, she calls her own pitches and has great command and location with 75-80% of her pitches being strikes. Her junior season she went 25-3 and, battling the flu and a sore hamstring, still pitched three games in two days in the state playoffs.
98 Ashley Ross
#98 - Ashley Ross
P Explosion - Denio Boston College
Ashley has had a tremendous fall for Explosion and playing the best teams in club ball has a 0.65 ERA. She throws all her pitches well, including a great curve and screwball, and hits her spots to keep the batter off-balance. She hits in the low-to-mid 60's on the gun and went 15-5 with a 1.46 ERA for her So Cal high school team last year. She also can play first and hit for power, but her talent in the circle will make her a top pitcher in the ACC.
97 Skylar McCarty
#97 - Skylar McCarty
OF Firecrackers-AZ Washington
Skylar is a hitting machine as evidenced by her .549 batting average in three years of high school play in Arizona (she hit .596 last spring). She not only has a great eye at the plate, she has speed once she gets on and can surprise you with her power (had 14 home runs as a sophomore). Skylar is even strong on defense in centerfield where she gets a great break on the ball. A multi-weapon threat, she could be the best all-around player out of a strong Arizona senior class.
96 Sabrina Turner
#96 - Sabrina Turner
P/IF Lady Lightning Gold Team Miken Mississippi St.
Sabrina was a 2nd Team Full Count Softball American and had another All-State season as she went 23-3 as a junior with a 1.05 ERA and also hit .402 with 35 RBI leading her team to its third straight Mississippi 3A State Title. Sabrina throws seven pitches including a rollover drop and screwball and is a switch-hitter with pop and gap power. She is also a basketball standout and even has a 4.3 GPA.
95 Molly Fowkes
#95 - Molly Fowkes
OF/1B Lady Magic - Havey Stanford
Molly had a strong summer and started every game for the Lady Magic team that won the Boulder Independent Day Tournament and finished tied for fifth at PGF 16U Nationals where she hit .300. She has a great work ethic, which translated in her hitting .479 and .439 the last two years of high school ball. Molly was named to the Sacramento Bee's All-Metro team and carries a 4.1 GPA in the classroom. She's very solid defensively also and only has made two errors in 75 high school games.
94 Mallory Belknap
#94 - Mallory Belknap
IF Arizona Hotshots - Davis Georgetown
Mallory can play either of the middle infield spots and is strong defensively, but it's her bat that makes her a top Georgia prospect. Committed to Georgia at one point, she chose Georgetown this fall where she will take her great all-around athletic ability--she has gone to nationals in cross country and even won a badminton state title, but it's the softball field where she shines. She's averaging .479 in high school ball and is one of the best contact hitters in the country who also has good speed on the bases.
93 Madison McCracken
#93 - Madison McCracken
C/3B KC Peppers Notre Dame
Maddie had an outstanding junior year hitting .590 with 40 RBI and in 21 games only committed one error. Known as a great defensive catcher, she earned 2nd Team All-American honors with NFCA and MaxPreps and was a 1st Team Kansas All-State catcher. She had three grand slams as a sophomore with two winning games and batted .510 with 26 walks (16 of them intentional). Maddie also carries a GPA over 4.0.
92 Zoe Casas
#92 - Zoe Casas
OF Corona Angels Florida State
Zoe is the prototype outfielder/lead off hitter who is one of the best in the nation at getting on base. Last spring she hit .644 in high school and in her three year career is averaging .664 while going 62-for-62 in steals. Zoe has led her team to a 49-6 mark over the last two years because she can do it all at the plate: bunt, slap, hit for power and for average. On defensive she has a strong arm, covers a ton of ground and isn't afraid to get dirty making a play.
91 Julie McDonald
#91 - Julie McDonald
P/1B So Cal Athletics - Richardson San Diego St.
Julie became a nationally known commodity in the summer of 2013 when she was picked up by the OC Batbusters - Myers/McNee team for the PGF 16U Nationals and led the team to the title game where they lost 2-0 to Miranda Elish (No. 2 in the 2016 Hot 100 list) and the Beverly Bandits. The San Diego product is now with the four-time PGF 18U Premier champion So Cal A's - Richardson team. She throws in the 62-64 mph range and induces a lot of ground balls and strikeouts because she keeps the ball down and has an excellent drop ball.
