You've seen our full list of the top 100 players in the class of 2019, but do you know which club organization had the most Hot 100 players? How about how many states are represented in the Hot 100? Or how many are committed? Look no further than our 2019 Hot 100 Breakdown.

Over the last year since our last update of this list, there have been a lot of new players jumping out as top competition across the nation. For this update of the 2019 rankings, there were 24 ties and 39 of the players were new to the rankings.

Many players also jumped positions quite a bit. Our No. 5 player, Lexi Kilfoyl, jumped into the Top 10 from her previous spot at No. 81. No. 6 Lexi Sosa also jumped into the Top 10 from No. 20. 

Out of all 124 players, Only six remain uncommitted. That means 95 percent of the players in the 2019 Hot 100 are committed to play college ball and they aren't even half way through high school! 

All of the Top 10 players are committed. Our No. 1 ranked player, Kinzie Hansen of Athletics-Mercado/Smith, is headed to Oklahoma to join the 2016 National Champions. UCLA will get Nos. 6 and 7, Lexi Sosa and Alyssa Garcia also of Athletics-Mercado/Smith.

Though Athletics-Mercado/Smith boasts three players in the Top 10, The EC Bullets and Firecrackers organizations tie for most players in the rankings, each with 11. The Athletics and Beverly Bandits organizations tie at a close second with 9 players each.

These teams are representative of the spread of Hot 100 players across the map. California has the most commits with 37, more than doubling the runner-up Texas, which has 12. Georgia and Florida follow close behind with 12 and 9.

Overall, the Top 124 sophomores hail from 25 different states and 43 different club organizations.

Surprisingly enough with all of that variety, all of the committed players but 2 have committed to Power 5 conferences. The SEC has the most commits with 52, followed by the Pac-12 with 21. The ACC and Big 10 tie for third with 15 and the Big 12 follows behind with 13.

Tennessee had the most commits with 9 followed by Oklahoma with 7, Auburn with 6 and Florida, LSU and Mississippi State with 5. In our last update of the 2019 Hot 100, The Volunteers and Sooners tied for the most commits with five each.

True to Hot 100 form, pitchers had a heavy presence on the list, with 42 players having the position listed as their first or second position. Add the 18 catchers and battery players make up almost half of the 124 total players.

These battery players dominated the Top 10. Six are pitchers and four are catchers. The Top 2 players, Kinzie Hansen (OU) and Julia Cottrill (FL), are both catchers.
