Check out more of Round 1 of 2015's HOT 100: 100-91, 90-81

#80... Taylor Satchell (SS, Wichita Mustangs)--LSU
Taylor can play middle infield, third and outfield and helped lead her team to the Louisiana state title game as she hit .378 with a .655 slugging percentage and knocked in 40 RBI and scored 47 runs herself. A 1st Team All-District pick her freshman and sophomore years, Taylor can beat you with power or a well-timed hit and is solid defensively with the lateral movement needed at short along with the quick first-step reaction that would allow her play the outfield if needed.
#79... Brianna Cassidy (C, Firecrackers-Blanco)--Nebraska
Brianna has one of the best POP times of any catcher in the country with a 1.6 mark and, not surprisingly, only had two steals against her last season as runners quickly learned not to test her. She's a consummate field general and coach on the field who is a great leader and is very intelligent (4.8 GPA and wants to be a doctor). Bri has a quick, explosive swing that resulted in her hitting .407 last spring.
#78... Tessa Daniels (P, Georgia Impact-Pauly)--Florida State
Tessa is the rare pitcher who can control the game with her great moxie and confidence which she exudes when she walks onto the field. She was the winning pitcher at the 2012 14U PGF Nationals with the Atlanta Vipers, the first non-California team to win a PGF title and last fall went 8-0 at the high school level. Tessa can also hit and was named to the 2013 Georgia 7-AAA All-Region 1st Team after batting .465 with 44 RBI and 32 runs scored.
#77ƒ Hillary Edior (C/IF, Firecrackers-Rico)„Arizona
Hillary hit .402 as a SoCal sophomore in 2013 with 29 RBI, 20 runs scored and nine doubles but what makes her elite are her defensive skills. One of the best defensive catchers in the country, Hillary has all the tools behind the plate including a strong arm, great blocking ability and defensive skills that make her a pitcherÍs best friend. She was chosen as a 2nd Team All-L.A. City pick as a sophomore last season in softball and on the volleyball court helped her team share the league title.
#76ƒ Ebonee Echols (IF/OF, Atlanta Vipers-Loveless)--Michigan State
Ebonee is a flat-out winner in everything she does. She has won a Georgia high school championship and a PGF National title but her skills aren't limited to just softball. She was a track state finalist and runs the point as an All-County basketball star. Ebonee combines great speed and quickness with skills and determination She's a team leader by word and action and has the versatility to star about just about every place on the field.
#75ƒ Autumn Miller (3B, KG Hitters)--Oregon
Autumn is a big, strong power-hitting third baseman who's a vocal leader on the field and is best in the big games shown by her hitting a three-run home run at PGF Nationals that helped her team stay in the winner's bracket. She has a great work ethic and is the director on the infielder. Autumn hit .491 for her Northern California high school last spring.
#74ƒ Ally Dickman (IF/OF, Batbuster-Briggs)--Utahxxx
Ally is a good all-around player, athletic and who runs well like her sister Kate, a 2nd Team All-Pac-12 conference outfielder last year. The younger sister is also headed to Salt Lake to play for the Utes and can play several positions. She can hit for power and has been a varsity player in talent-packed Orange County (Calif.) since her freshman year when she hit .348.
#73ƒ Alexis Reid (P, Birmingham Thunderbolts)--Kansas
Alexis is a tall (five-foot-10) right-handed pitcher from Kansas City who is a double threat in the circle and at the plate where she swings really well and can run the bases. She was a 2nd Team All-State after going 21-4 with a 1.20 ERA and 192 strikeouts in 157 innings. She was a force offensively knocking in 27 runs with 17 of her 28 hits being for extra bases last fall.
#72ƒ Katya Duvall (P, So Cal Athletics)--Ohio State
Katya backed up two of the top pitchers in the country last year at Pacifica High (Garden Grove, Calif.) in Kaylee Carlson and Kaley Winegarner, both seniors, and was looking to be the No. 1 at a new school but will miss the 2013 season after tearing her ACL this past fall. The 5-foot-9 junior is expected to be ready for the summer club season and will be counted on to help out the top team in the nation, the So Cal A's. Kat has really good spins and movement on her pitches highlighted by an excellent riseball.
#71ƒ Bria Bush (P, Georgia Impact-Pauly)--Tennessee
Bria carries a confidence and presence to the field which carries over to her teammates. She throws 63-64 mph with two tough pitches--a riseball and a change-up. She's also very accurate and is always around the plate. Bria has pitched her high school to back-to-back Georgia AAA state titles and went 18-1 with a 0.61 ERA after going 22-2 with a 0.99 ERA to earn All-Area Pitcher of the Year.
