10--Chandler Dennis P/UT... East Cobb Bullets-Biele (Michigan)
Dennis is an elite two-way player who dominates in the circle and in the batter's box. Last season for the Georgia Impact she had 270 strikeouts in 2014 innings pitched with a 1.33 ERA and batted .401 with seven home runs. In the fall of 2016 she led North Gwinett (Suwanee, Georgia) High to the Class 7A state title and earned 1st Team All-State honors and Player of the Year recognition from the Georgia High School Association and the Georgia Dugout Club. She batted .510 with 19 wins, a 1.27 ERA and 144 strikeouts. Dennis was clocked at 66 mph this fall. Her curve buckles knees and her riseball, though used sparingly, is very effective. She had several SEC offers but committed to the Wolverines in February of 2016 just weeks after going to Michigan and attending the school's elite player camp.

9--Macy Simmons C/UT... Firecrackers-Rico (Auburn)
Simmons is a tall catcher at 5-foot-10 who has a big-time arm and the advanced catching skills to play early in the SEC. She also has the versatility to play the outfield and even the corners if needed. What sets her apart, however, is what you can't teach: presence and intuition that gives her a professional mindset that's further along than almost any player her age. Simmons played with the So Cal A's last year and then returned to Arizona to play close to home for the Firecrackers organization before joining Tony Rico's Firecrackers, the defending PGF 18U National champs. She'll have a chance to be a key figure on that squad as previous starting catcher, Mary Iakopo, made the USA Jr. Nationals Team. Simmons had an outstanding freshman campaign for Hamilton (Chandler, Arizona) High as the team won the Div. I State Championship. In the 3-0 victory, she had a double and run scored. With pop times consistently in the 1.5-1.6 range, her defense is college-ready. When she gets hot at the plate, Simmons can go on a tear like this fall when she hit .500 with a .714 OBP in five games. Heavily recruited by Pac-12, SEC and Big Ten schools, she verballed to Auburn the day after New Year's 2016.

8--Rylee Trlicek P/UT... Texas Blaze (Florida)
Trlicek is a lefty power pitcher and hitter who dominates games at the club and high school levels. She has also competed at a high level in volleyball, basketball and cheerleading, but high 60's heat and a devastating dropball make her too good to play anything but softball in college. Trlicek can also mix in a rise, curve, screwball, off-speed curve and a change to overwhelm batters. Her freshman year at Halletsville (Texas) High saw Trlicek win 15 games and compile a 1.31 ERA with 125 strikeouts in 90 2/3rds innings to earn Class 3A All-State recognition. Over the summer, she shined for the Blaze, going 7-1 against FloSoftball FAB 50 club teams with a 0.51 ERA and 75 K's in 17 starts. Her only loss was 1-0 to the East Cobb Bullets at PGF Nationals. She also hit .574 with nine home runs and a sparkling 1.829 OPS. Coaches rave about her leadership and support of her teammates, making her a positive influence on the field, but also in the dugout. She had multiple offers from ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 programs before committing to Florida in December of 2015.

7--Alyssa Garcia C/IF... Athletics-Mercado/Smith (UCLA)
Garcia is a pure lefty hitter and a great athlete who can catch, play the corners or even the middle if needed. One coach says, "She's probably the best hitter in her age group." She was a beast during the A's championships run at PGF 14U Nationals as she hit .579 with 11 RBI in 10 games and three home runs including a smash over the right-field wall in the title game. The San Diego-area sophomore batted .380 with 18 RBI in 22 games as a freshman at Mater Dei Catholic (Chula Vista, California) and earned 1st Team All-CIF honors. Alyssa plays beyond her years with advanced maturity and a high softball IQ. A monster summer in 2015, including a .700 batting average at TC/USA Nationals in Reno, Nevada, helped solidify her stock as one of the top 2019s. By October of 2015 she had decided to stay close to home and commit to UCLA, where she'll play with fellow sophomore and high school battery-mate Lexi Sosa.

6--Lexi Sosa P/UT... Athletics-Mercado/Smith (UCLA)
If there was an MVP for the PGF 14U Nationals last summer, it would have to be Sosa who was the workhorse in the circle. She and the A's allowed just one run in 7-0 games. Part of the Athletics' offensive juggernaut as well, she slugged key home runs and extra base hits batting in the middle of the line-up. Dave Mercado's team went 87-7-2 at the 14U level prior to the fall move up to 16U where the California team won three major tournaments. Sosa garnered national attention in January of 2015 when she became the youngest commit ever to UCLA--she was 13 years old and five months--but she was so dominant at an early age that she had 21 offers by the time she committed. Sosa was 5-foot-9 and throwing up to 67 mph even prior to high school while being an elite power-hitter. She showcased both on the biggest stage in 2016. As one coach said about her talents with the stick and on the mound, "Lexi is power, power and more power." She's become more of a pitcher and not just thrower over the last year as she's improving her complementary pitches that include a riseball and change-up. For her Mater Dei Catholic (Chula Vista, California) team, she hit .385 as a freshman while compiling a 1.69 ERA.

5--Lexi Kilfoyl P/1B... East Cobb Bullets-Schnute (Alabama)
When you're the best at something, you can go really far. That's the case for Kilfoyl, who has the best dropball in the 2019 class and arguably the entire club world. One top coach said, "It's an SEC-caliber drop right now, she's an outstanding pitcher and fits a niche for the USA Jr. National Team to match up well against international completion." But Kilfoyl isn't just one-dimensional, she's a 6-foot-2 intimidator who has learned how to pitch and approach batters in a more strategic way. The youngest member of the Jr. National Team, she is skilled at keeping batters off balance and is extremely effective in coaxing ground balls and strikeouts. She's been a high school pitcher since the 7th grade and has previously earned Class 2A All-State honors at Academy at the Lakes (Land O' Lakes, Florida). Kilfoyl will get to play this spring for new softball coach Diane Stephenson, who was the head coach at Indiana for 20 years. Lexi is also a skilled volleyball player lining up as an outside hitter and middle blocker, but her future is bright in the SEC and for USA Softball. The Florida sophomore committed to Alabama in December of 2015 after a strong summer and fall that put her on the national recruiting map with schools nationwide heavily pursuing her.

4--Kelley Lynch P... East Cobb Bullets-Biele (Auburn)
"Kelley 2.0" is what some call Lynch as she's from the same club organization that produced USA Softball Women's National Team pitcher Kelly Barnhill. Lynch resembles the Florida sophomore in that both throw heat and rack up the strikeouts. The 5-foot-11 high school sophomore is living up to the comparison as she had a dominating season in 2016, playing mostly 18U except for a few big 16U events. Lynch throws in the low to mid 60's and has what one coach called, "The most electric movement I've ever seen." Also throwing a curve, screw and change-up, she led the Bullets to a 1st place finish at Boulder IDT, 4th at USA Softball JO Cup, 5th at TC/USA Nationals and 7th at PGF Nationals. For the club season, she struck out 217 in 123 innings with a 1.06 ERA and limited opponents to a .146 batting average. During the Boulder IDT title run, the Georgia standout had 27 K's in 19.2 innings with a miniscule 0.36 ERA and at PGF Nationals she was lights out again as she recorded 33 K's in 21 1/3rd innings with a 0.66 ERA. Kelley was also a fixture in the middle of the line-up as one of the top bats in the South and batted .425. In the fall, she pitched three 18U events and in 23 innings didn't allow a run. Kelley earned 1st Team All-State and Region 2-AAAAAAA Player of the Year honors for East Coweta (Sharpsburg, Georgia) High in the falls as she compiled a 12-5 record, 204 strikeouts in 107 innings, a 0.72 ERA and a .482 batting average with 44 RBI and 17 doubles. She had heavy SEC interest before she committed to Auburn right after Christmas 2015.

3--Sydney Supple P/1B... Beverly Bandits (Northwestern)
Supple had an incredible 2016 which saw her win a national club title, take her Wisconsin high school farther than it has ever gone and earn FloSoftball 1st Team All-American (Multi-Purpose) honors. An incredible competitor who wills her teams to victory, Supple has a passion, drive and work ethic that few if any in her age group can match. She is well-rounded in every aspect of the game and continues to improve because of her physical skills and heart which have led to impressive results. In the circle, Supple throws in the mid-60's and has all the pitches including a rise, drop and change--each of which she can throw at any time. As the youngest member of Bill Conroy's Beverly 16U PGF National Championship team last summer--even though she was still 14U eligible-- she showed her depth not only on the mound with a 43-0 record for the season, but also with her bat and defensive skills. She started every game at PGF Nationals at first base when she wasn't pitching. As a freshman at Oshkosh North (Oshkosh, Wisconsin) High, Sydney was a finalist for Gatorade State Player of the Year and was named 1st Team All State (Pitcher) as she went 18-2 with a 0.79 ERA accompanied by 176 strikeouts in 123 2/3rd innings and a .596 batting average. She led her team to a 5th place finish, highest in school history, and to its first appearance in the state playoffs in 38 years. The Wisconsin sophomore continued her hot streak in the fall; as one of only two players to remain on the Bandits 16U team--now coached by Jen Tyrrell--Sydney ended the fall season 20-1 to give her an amazing 63-1 club pitching record over the last 18 months. A highlight of the fall was the Bandits' 7-0 record (Supple went 5-0) at the prestigious PGF Shootout in Huntington Beach, California in October which included a victory over the FloSoftball FAB 50 preseason #1 16U team, So Cal A's-Mercado/Smith. At the Shootout, Supple allowed only four runs in bracket play while recording 34 K's in 24 innings. It's a deep, strong year for pitching in the 2019 class but Supple's success, competitive fire and unlimited ceiling along with the ability to hit and play a high-level first base, lock her in as the top pitcher/utility player in the Hot 100. She committed to the Wildcats in November of 2014.

2--Julia Cottrill C... Georgia Impact-Lewis (Florida)
Cottrill is one of the most promising young players in the sport and there are two key facts that make her one of the brightest lights in the future of fastpitch softball: she made the USA Softball Jr. National Team and she's played high-level 18U club ball since she was in the 8th grade. She's a woman among girls even though she's only a sophomore in high school. Says one Top 25-level college coach, "Julia just hits like a full-grown woman, it's crazy." Adds another top coach, "Offensively, she is tough to beat." For her Central (Andover, Kansas) High team last spring, the standout catcher batted .511 with 38 RBI, seven home runs and a 1.114 slugging percentage. Cottrill grew up around sports, her grandfather played golf on the PGA tour and is a college golf coach; he accompanied her on her unofficial visit to the University of Florida about a year ago. Her father, Jeff, coached her in the Wichita Mustangs organization and is now the Director of Operations for Oklahoma State softball. In an ironic twist, OSU head coach Kenny Gajewski was an assistant at Florida and helped recruit her to Florida. Cottrill had obvious talent at a young age and batted third in the Mustangs line-up two years ago when the Mark Griggs-led team won the USA Softball JO Cup in its first year of existence. Her bat was so advanced that college coaches were saying that, even pre-high school, she could start at most colleges. Blessed with quick but soft hands, Cottrill squares up on any type of pitcher and was driving home runs at the Jr. National Tryout against elite pitchers of all ages. Defensively she has a strong arm and throws lasers to all bases, but it's her bat that makes many feel she'll be an All-American talent at Florida and a good bet to be in the running for a spot on the Women's National Team and have a possible Olympic appearance down the road. One of the few talents who could take her time in choosing a college and felt no pressure to commit early, Cottrill verballed to Tim Walton and the Gators in April of 2016. She told the Gator head coach in a fun way too: she had Florida infielder Taylor Schwartz write on a softball, "I want to be a Gator for the love of the game." She couldn't write it herself because her hand was shaking so badly! She handed the ball to her future head coach during a pre-game batting practice and that's how Julia made it official.

1--Kinzie Hansen C... Athletics-Mercado/Smith (Oklahoma)
As the saying goes, "It's more easy to stay on top than to get there." When you're deemed the No. 1 player in the FloSoftball Hot 100, it's an honor, obviously, but it also puts a target on your back. Imagine walking onto any softball field and having opposing players, coaches, parents and fans pointing you out as the one they're going to work extra hard to beat. That was the case for Hansen over the last year. She was announced as the No. 1 player in the 2019 Hot 100 on February 6, 2016 and had to live up to those expectations. So how did she do? In the spring, she batted .426 with seven home runs, 18 walks, a .525 on-base percentage and a team-high 37 RBI for Norco (California) High which finished the year 26-6 and #36 in the final FloSoftball FAB 50 High School Rankings. For her part, Hansen won every honor possible: MaxPreps Underclass All-American, CalHiSports.com Freshman of the Year, 1st Team All-State, All-Riverside County and All-League. Over the summer, the So Cal standout batted an even .500 (106-for-212) and had 17 home runs, 18 doubles, 10 triples, 78 RBI and scored 92 runs to help the A's blow through the competition at Colorado Fireworks Sparkler and then on the biggest stage, PGF 14U Nationals. Granted, Kinzie had a ton of help from a talent-packed team, but she certainly did her share to help at PGF, batting again a clean .500 (13-for-26) with a .596 on-base percentage which included five RBI and seven runs scored. One coach also said she reportedly had the most runners caught stealing and pick offs of anyone at PGF. What makes Hansen, then, the No. 1 player besides championships and stats? At 6-foot tall, she is a five-tool player who is the ultimate triple threat--she's a consistent threat at the plate, a phenomenal defensive catcher and a true leader on and off the field. Jen Schroeder, founder of The Packaged Deal and Hansen's personal catching coach, says: "I knew the first time Kinzie walked through my doors she was special. She hasn't just stood out, though, she's been a leader, but what has impressed me the most is her consistent desire to outwork and outperform others. Simply, no one in the country works harder or with more humility than Kinzie." The young catcher is already rubbing elbows in a favorable way with the best in the game. At a winter workout, top college and national team players were working out together and Hansen was asked to join in. She and Aubree Munro, the former Florida All-American backstop and current Women's National Team member, were put in the same group and threw back-to-back. Onlookers said that the two went head-to-head in a positive, good natured, but competitive way and Hansen--despite being five years younger--matched Munro throw-for-throw. One coach said, "I had never seen anything like it, that's the type of athlete Kinzie is--she's already on par with the National Team members and is the type of player that makes others better around her." Physically, the young catcher does everything well--she has 1.5-1.6 pop times, throws from her knees better than anyone her age and can do it all offensively. College coaches certainly have noticed; FloSoftball reached out to dozens of top coaches and scouts across the country and Hansen was the clear-cut choice as the top player in the nation. Here were just some of the comments that coaches shared: "... the most polished in her class," "so athletic and skilled," "well-rounded in all areas," "the top player without a doubt after watching her this summer" and, simply, "Hansen rakes!" The tall backstop committed to Oklahoma in November of 2014 and has been in the spotlight ever since. While some crumble under the pressure of being called "the best," Hansen has used it to elevate her game each year and many coaches privately say she has the potential to be one of the best catchers ever to play the game. That's a lot to live up to, but so far Hansen has risen to the challenge. For that, she earns the right to be called, once again, the No. 1 player in the FloSoftball 2019 Hot 100.
