Today, we continue our look at the top 100 players in the 2019 class… we're spotlighting 10 each day as we count down from 100 to No. 1.

These players were chosen based on input and feedback from college and club coaches who've seen them play all across the nation.

Criteria for choosing and ranking the players including performances at the club and high school levels and projecting how they will play at the collegiate level.

Today we feature players No. 80 to 71 with standout players from California (3), Georgia, Louisiana, New Mexico, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas and Canada.

***

80--Taylor Edwards, P… Louisiana Voodoo (committed to LSU)
Taylor has been a national recruit since the fall of 2014 when she shined at the Diamond 9 Sun Classic in Orlando. She throws in the mid-60's and complements her fastball with a strong change-up as well as a rise and dropball.  Also a talented volleyball player who comes from a family of athletes, she committed to LSU last September as the Louisiana native always wanted to stay close to home.

79--Renee Trotman, 3B/P… NY Inferno (uncommitted)
Renee is the first Canadian to make the Hot 100 list of any age and her bio is impressive: she will be attending the Canadian Jr. National camp as an underage player in June hoping to make the team and play at the 2019 Jr. Nationals in Clearwater, Florida. She has been on coaches' radar since leading her 12U Amherst Lightning team to a USSSA Eastern Open World Series in 2014. She is playing with the Inferno 16U team now and has Big Ten and SEC interest among others.

78--Kinsey Kuhlmann, SS… Texas Blaze (Ole Miss)
Kinsey is a five-tool player with a strong arm, big bat and a high softball IQ. She can hit for average (batted .397 last year), was third on the team in RBI and steals. Her primary position is short, but she is solid at second, centerfield and first base as well showing her versatility. A strong situational player, she loves the game and chose Ole Miss after loving her unofficial visit despite both parents being Texas grads.

77--Keana "KP" Polamalu, 2B… Corona Angels (Nebraska)
KP was on the Angels squad that won the PGF 14U Nationals in 2014 and has been with the organization since 12U.  She certainly has great sports DNA: she's the cousin of former NFL All-Pro Troy Polamalu and San Diego State catcher Jenavee Peres and the younger sister of Long Beach State pitcher Selene Polamalu.  KP is a lefty hitter with a great swing who comes to work, understands her role and doesn't get distracted by things she can't control.
 

76--Autumn Oehlstrom, 1B/OF… Beverly Bandits 16U DeMarini (Kentucky)
Autumn is a gap hitter who bats for power and average. In early January, she set a mark with her bat speed at the OnDeck camp where her Allister Index mark was in the 98 percentile (top 98% of all players ever tested).  A natural lefty with a smooth swing and stick, the Buckeye State native is 5-foot-9 and a standout in volleyball and basketball as well.

75--Kelsey Hall, OF… LTG Lions (Oregon)
Kelsey is a right-handed hitter with a smooth stroke who can drive the ball to all fields. The Northern California outfielder is explosive at the plate and at the Firecracker Turkey Tournament in November went an amazing 19-for-21 with six home runs and three triples. The next weekend she slugged six more homers.  Kelsey runs track and is shows as she has speed and quickness on the bases and in the outfield tracking down balls.  She has a strong snap on her throws and the ball is always online.  Kelsey committed to Oregon in November after slugging five home runs in the Early Thanksgiving Tournament.

74--Sydnee Huff, SS… Corona Angels (Stanford)
Sydnee's strength is her versatility: she is fast enough to be the lead-off hitter and strong enough to bat in the 3 or 4 hole.  For the Angels she bats 2-through-4 in the line-up and is a big part of the team's success offensively and defensively.  One coach said, "She's going to be special." Fiery and competitive, you can't tell her she can't do something--she'll take up the challenge and prove she can.  One Angel coach told her no player in the team's storied history had ever gone to Stanford and Sydnee worked hard to become the first.

73--Regan Weekly, 2B/OF… Birmingham Thunderbolts-Dorsett/Weekly (Dartmouth)
If the last name sounds familiar, it's because Regan is the granddaughter of Tennessee Vols head coach Ralph Weekly and the daughter of current Bolts assistant coach Marc Weekly.  But the infielder/outfielder isn't on this list because of name recognition, she can hit for power and play the short game very well. Regan has good speed with solid range on defense.  Not surprisingly considering her background, she has a high game IQ and was being recruiting by Duke, South Carolina, Indiana and Tennessee​, ​but because of her strong academic stature she committed to Dartmouth in mid-August of 2016.

72--Paige Cook, INF… East Cobb Bullets -- Biele (Mississippi State)
Paige is pure hitter who bats for power and average. She tied for most extra base hits on last years Bullets team while hitting over .400 against premium competition. Hitting in the three hole, she has a short compact stroke with great quickness and power and is nearly impossible to strike out. Paige is an outstanding infielder with great range and hands as she can quickly dive for a ball and rifle it to first. Paige was reviewing several SEC offers before ultimately committing to Mississippi State.
 

71--Kaylee Hewitt, P/1B… Texas Glory (Texas Tech)
Kaylee is a big, hard-thrower from New Mexico who grew up playing in the Wichita Mustangs organization and recently moved to the Texas Glory.  She throws a drop ball and change, which she isn't afraid to pitch at any point in the count, and also has a rise and cutter.  She can hit too and has the potential to dominate. She committed to Texas Tech last September in part because her grandfather stayed at a hospital next to the Raiders' softball parking lot. Kaylee felt the connection with the school and that it was where she was meant to be.
