No.	Player	Position	Club	College
50	Alyssa Gonzalez	1B	OC Batbusters - Smith	Ole Miss
		Alyssa is a big, strong power hitter who is excellent on defense as well. She is an athletic first baseman who knows how to win and come up clutch in big games. Alyssa hit .398 with 30 RBI as a sophomore in one of the most competitive regions in the country and earned 1st Team All-CIF Southern Section Div. 2 honors. As a freshman she helped her team win the CIF Div. 2 championship by getting a key RBI in the title game.
49	Kaitlyn Crocker	2B/UT	Birmingham Thunderbolts	Auburn
		Nicknamed "KK," Kaitlyn has been a player of note for a long time: she has been with the Thunderbolts organization since she was 10 and has played varsity high school ball since the 7th grade. A slapper who's a good all around athlete, she can play middle infield, third or outfielder and has a very high softball IQ. She hit .464 as a sophomore, which included 84 hits and 68 runs to earn Tuscaloosa (Ala.) 1st Team All-Region honors
48	Amanda Doyle	IF	So Cal Choppers - Fausett	LSU
		Amanda is strong on both sides of the ball and her versatility and athleticism should help her play early in the SEC. Offensively she can hit for power and average and defensively she has the tools to play all three infield positions (third, short and second). Last spring she hit .464 with 33 RBI and an impressive 11 home runs to give her an on-base percentage of .505 and a slugging percentage of 1.011. On defense, the So Cal standout only made four errors in 116 chances.
47	Cambry Arnold	IF	Beverly Bandits	James Madison
		Cambry is the prototype leadoff hitter with great speed and bat control. She can play second and all three outfield positions and is one of the best baserunners in the 2016 class with her instincts and uncanny on-base aptitude you can't teach. Cambry is a multi-weapon threat who can drive the ball into the gaps, play small ball and even soft slap. The Buckeye State speedster, who has a 3.6 GPA, was a catalyst on the Bandits 16U team which won the 2013 PGF National Championship.
46	Jordan Roberts	C	Gold Coast Hurricanes	Florida
		Jordan is the prototypical power-hitting catcher who batted .440 with 30 RBI, 10 doubles and seven home runs as a sophomore last year in high school. She has monster pop and is one of the most dangerous hitters in the country as the ball explodes off her bat. Jordan has a pop time in the 1.8 range and her strong arm makes her equally talented on defense.
45	Jordan Fines	MIF/OF	Lady Magic - Havey	Cal
		Jordan is a right-handed throwing lefty-hitter who is disciplined at the plate, makes great contact and also can bunt to get on base. She hit .377 as a sophomore for her Sacramento high school with a .450 on-base percentage. One of Jordan's strengths is her versatility: she can play pretty much anywhere in the infield or outfield. On defense she has a strong arm and good glove and is also a leader in the dugout.
44	Haley Finn	P	Explosion	North Carolina State
		Haley fits the mold of the big, strong-armed shortstop who can hit to the opposite field and has a lot of power in her back. She has a smooth, effortless swing and also is fluid in her movements at short. Another talent from the Riverside (Calif.) area, she helped her team win back-to-back Inland Valley League Championships and had some clutch hits including a two-run homer in the playoffs.
43	Payton McBride	SS	Impact Gold - Texas	Texas A&M
		Payton is another big, strong-armed pitcher who exploded onto the Texas scene as a freshman in 2013 when she was a 1st Team Class 5A All-State and MVP honoree after going 19-1 with a 1.75 ERA and 168 K's in 136.1 innings. Her sophomore year was almost identical: she went 19-3 and improved her ERA to 1.64 while striking out 166 in 129.2 innings. This year she pitched her Texas team to a 5A state title in a complete game five K victory. But don't discount her hitting: she has a .422 average over two years in high school and hit .385 at PGF Nationals this summer.
42	Schuylar Broussard	P	So Cal Choppers - Fausett	Fresno State
		Schuylar is a slick-fielding shortstop who can also play second base and the outfield. Her versatility is what caught the eyes of coaches along with her gun for an arm, good lateral movement and an excellent backhand that helps her make tough plays look easy. On offense she's a gap hitter who is consistent in getting on base. Schuylar, who carries a 3.83 GPA, was part of the Team Mizuno-Campbell squad that won PGF 14U Nationals last summer.
41	Parker Conrad	OF	East Cobb Bullets	Missouri
		Parker is a flame-thrower and brings the heat constantly: she's been clocked by colleges throwing 66-67 mph in warm-ups and reportedly was offered by Missouri coaches after hitting 65 mph at their camp. She also plays first when not in the circle and has some serious pop in her bat. As a sophomore Parker led her Florida high school team to a district title, the furthest it has advanced in 34 years of playing softball.
