FloSoftball knows how much you love scrolling through all the new verbals each week, and every month from now on you can expect a breakdown of the month's new verbals. In the Master Verbal Breakdown, FloSoftball assesses and calculates the commits to college conferences. What we have discovered is very interesting.

This November saw 196 new verbals! All but four of the commits were to Division 1 schools, meaning 192 girls committed to Division 1 programs.

Of the 192 Division 1 commits, only 56 were to the "Big Five" conferences. The SEC had the most with 18, effectively tripling the amount of the Big 12 with only five. The following smaller conferences had more commits than both the Pac-12 and the Big 12: American Athletic, Atlantic 10, Atlantic Sun, Big East, Colonial Athletic, Conference USA, Horizon League, Mid-American, Northeast, Ohio Valley, Patriot League, and West Coast. 

Six of the Big East's seven commits were to Butler, making the Bulldogs the college with the most commits this month. The University of Indiana and Mount St. Mary's both rang in with five commits each.

The Beverly Bandits organization was the big winner this month with a whopping 12 commits who spanned eight different conferences. Carolina Elite- Fisher and Lady Lightning Prospects tied for second with seven commits each. 

Of the 196 players who committed, 55 of them were pitchers and 28 were catchers, making the percentage of commits who are battery players 42%. Oddly enough, that is the exact percentage of battery players who were in our class of 2016 Hot 100 Breakdown.

Speaking of the class of 2016, it accounted for 29% of the total commits in November. The class of 2017 drew the largest percentage of commits with 34% while — unbelievably — four players from the 2020 are already committed.
