T90 | Madilyn Giglio, OF/2B | EC Bullets Biele/Heath

Giglio is electric on the bases running a 2.62 from home to first. Last season, she batted .566 with 41 stolen bases. During PGF for the Bullets, she went 15 for 35 (.429 avg) with a .512 summer batting average. Giglio is a speedster that is being evaluated by SEC, ACC and Big 10 schools.

T90 | Derica Price, OF | Firecrackers - Sewell

Price is one of the fastest players in the nation with a legit 2.65 home to first time. She is a slapper who is dangerous when she gets the ball on the ground. If there is any hesitation, she will be safe. Price batted .385 for Firecrackers-Sewell this year and stole 56 of 63 bases. She is an outfielder who can cover a lot of ground and track fly balls others simply don’t have the speed to get to. A late bloomer to softball, she has the work ethic and drive of a champion.

89 | Annabel Teperson, P | Sorcerer - Schroll

Teperson was workhorse in the circle for the Sorcerer 14U Schroll team that finished second at PGF Premier Nationals and finished 5th at the Colorado IDT. She also hits with power and recorded three home runs at IDT. Her performances at major tournaments have been consistent and poised. During her high school season, she held a 20-6 record with a 1.37 ERA pitching 174 innings and tossing 247 strikeouts. 

88 | Hailey Harris, P/UT | USA Athletics (Utah)

Utah-commit Hailey Harris made the jump the 18U USA Athletics squad. Harris held ERAs below two both in high school and in club. This summer she struck out 62 batters in 79 innings of work. During high school, she struck out 85 in 89 innings pitched dropping on two games last season.

87 | Micaela "Lala" Macario, MIF | Cal Cruisers (Oregon)

Lala is your prototypical second baseman who is smooth equipped with a quick release and can throw from multiple angles. The Oregon-commit has plenty of experience playing in big situations as she leaves Batbusters and joins Mel Sievers Cal Cruisers. She's a lefty slapper that places the ball in the gaps and can leg out singles in the infield. Macario is a solid defender and will swipe her share of bases for years to come.

86 | Kara Daly, 3B | DeMarini Aces (Missouri)

Dalay is known to many as "The Freak." She's a 6-foot beast that is a staple at third base for the Aces. Her physical presence gets her noticed, but her play on the field more than delivers. With 65 mph overhand and 70+ bat exit velocity, she can launch the ball out of the park and sling it across the field. She controls the short game at third daring speedsters to drop one. This year she hit .424 with a .500 on-base percentage. It's no surprise her OPS is 1.364 hitting more extra base hits than singles.

85 | Dani Hayes, UT | PA Strikers (Penn State)

Hayes gives true meaning to the phrase "utllity player". Throughout the Spring/Summer season, she played wherever she was needed defensively, switching mostly between shortstop and catcher, but often taking the lead from the circle as well when the team needed her to pitch. There were games where she would catch the first few innings and pitch the last few innings or vise-versa. Batting .643 with a 1.500 slugging % at the 2018 Atlanta Legacy Summer Showcase (4 HRs), she played a critical role in her team's 5th place finish at TC/USA Nationals - leading the team in stolen bases and in their 4th place finish at PGF Nationals. She led her team in home runs and finished the season with a batting average of .393. A Penn State commit with a strong bat and quick speed, she is a strong athlete who adds so much defensive value and offensive power to her team.

84 | Genevieve Ovsak, P | Midwest Speed Gold (Syracuse)

One of the best prospects out of Minnesota is a stud in the circle. Ovsak recorded a 1.73 ERA with 88 strikeouts along with a .378 BA, .462 OBP. Her pitches top out around 62 mph pitch and have been named All-Conference, All-District, 3 x Max Preps Player of Game, and a Top 20 Metro Softball Player.

83 | KK Esparza, C/3B | Diamond Sports Hotshots (Ole Miss)

KK fought through some injuries this summer but maintained a good season behind the plate throwing out a high percentage of runners. Her leadership propelled Diamond Sports Hotshots Falterman to a top 10 finish at PGF Premier Nationals and a WFC 14U Championship. She held a .382 batting average at Friendswood High School.

82 | Kaylah Nelsen, OF | Batbusters K. Stith

Nelsen is a lefty hitter, right fielder that every team would love to add to their lineup. With her fast hands and power at the plate, she successfully maintained the lead-off spot for Campbell's OC Batbusters for last two years. During the 2018 season, she batted .431 and led the team in doubles with 32 and had 43 RBIs.

81 | Jordyn Bahl, P | Nebraska Gold Gerdes (Nebraska)

Bahl is the best pitcher in Nebraska in the class of 2021. Coming out of Papillion La Vista High School she held a .88 ERA with a 16-1 record. She tossed 104 innings striking 151 batters only giving up 13 earned runs last season. Named All-Nebraska, Bahl led Papillion La Vista to a Nebraska Class A state softball championship. She didn't skip a beat when summer came around finishing 2nd at the Top Gun Invitational and 3rd at the Tulsa Elite Invite.
