No.	Player	Position	Club	College
100	Kelcey Carrasco	C/1B	SanJose Sting - Perales	Michigan State
		Kelcey is your prototypical power-hitting catcher/first baseman who is a threat to go deep every time she's at the plate. As a freshman in high school she led her conference with 11 home runs and started at third. This year she hit .506 with seven home runs and a .552 on-base percentage. The Central California standout made a big jump from 14U to 18U a year ago and has a high ceiling, especially as she continues to fine-tune her catching skills.
99	Anna Shelnutt	C	Atlanta Vipers - Miller	Florida State
		Anna's defensive skills, including a quick release and excellent arm, place her among the top catcher's in the nation. She is also an elite hitter with power to all fields. As a sophomore she was 1st Team All-State and led the team in hitting with a .577 mark. Anna was also the team's Defensive Player of the Year. A great competitor and leader, she helped the Atlanta Vipers-Kates come in 7th at PGF Nationals this year.
98	Bella Norton	C	Vienna Stars	Indiana
		Bella is a talented catcher with the athleticism to play other positions well including shortstop. A Virginia 6A All-State player as a sophomore, she launched herself in large part because of outstanding play at the Scout Softball combines where she showed her all-around abilities including her pop with the bat and a 1.81 pop time early on. Defensively, she frames well and has good blocking skills, but her versatility will be the key to her playing early in the Big Ten.
97	Alexis Lindsey	1B	San Jose Sting - Gron	South Carolina
		Alexis is a big, strong lefty hitter whose calling card is her power at the plate. However, she might surprise you by taking an extra base or pulling off a steal if you're not paying attention. She hit .408 as a sophomore and was one of the stars of the California Kryptonite organization that recently disbanded.
96	Kendal Judge	P	Mizuno Hawks	Minnesota
		Kendal has taken pitching lessons from former Arizona great Nancy Evans and has improved every year incorporating a baffling rise complemented by a change, curve, drop and screwball. She had heavy interest from SEC and other Big Ten schools after two strong performances at the prestigious OnDeck National Elite Camps in 2012 and 2013. Kendal ent 16-7 with a 1.29 ERA and set a school record with 245 K's in 152 1/3 innings last spring to earn 2nd Team All-State honors.
95	Lexi Duncan	OF/1B	Georgia Elite - Hoover	Kentucky
		Lexi is a 5-foot-11 outfielder who can also play first base. She's a great hitter who can flat out swing the bat as a gap hitter with home run power. A Georgia All-State honoree, she has hit over .500 at the high school level and has led her Georgia Elite teams to top 10 PGF National finishes. A solid fixture in the 3 hole, Lexi is also a standout leader in the dugout.
94	Tuesday Dermargosian	OF	Texas Glory - Adkins/Allen	Texas
		A standout all-around athlete who also plays volleyball and basketball, Tuesday was a 2nd Team Full Count Softball All-American last spring after hitting .524 with a 1.165 OPS. She has a great eye at the plate--only two strikeouts in 105 high school appearances--and has speed to go along with bat discipline. A 3.8 student, she could have gone anywhere in the country but decided to stay in-state and play three hours from home.
93	Sierra Blair	C	KG Hitters - Garcia	Arizona State
		Sierra was a highly recruited catcher with offers from top Big Ten, Pac-12 and SEC schools before she committed right before starting high school. A 4.2 GPA student too, she has a strong arm behind the plate and calls her own game and typically calls every pitch during tournament and showcase formats. She was an East Bay Athletic League 1st Team All-League catcher last spring.
92	Sam Billeaudeau	OF	Bullet Softball	Arkansas
		Sam is headed to the SEC because she is one of the most passionate players in the country and is constantly working to improve her game. She didn't make an error all year, in both high school and club, and can play any of the outfield positions. Sam is astute in picking up hitter tendencies and is excellent at controlling shifts in the outfield. She hit .400 for the season and coaches love her knowledge of the game and how she thinks two steps ahead. The Louisiana standout also has a 4.0 GPA.
91	Katie Marino	2B	Jersey Intensity	Notre Dame
		Katie is an outstanding second baseman and contact hitter who can play multiple positions including pitcher. As a freshman she exploded onto the New Jersey high school softball scene when she hit .556 with 10 home runs and stole 30 bases. This past year she hit .670 with 13 home runs and was walked 32 times to earn All-Area honors.
