50—Rylie Boone, OF/P… Tulsa Elite (Oklahoma)
Rylie is a true lefty with blazing speed who can slap and play small ball but also hits for power. She has mid 60’s arm velocity and some coaches have compared her athleticism to Kelsey Stewart, the Florida Gator All-American, when she was the same age. Defensively, Rylie is an excellent center fielder with great range and a strong arm. She can even pitch in the high 50’s with a tough change-up. Best of all, Rylie elevates her game in clutch situations and rises to the occasion. She had multiple offers from Top 25 schools before deciding to stay in-state.
49—Olivia Rains, P/OF… Texas Glory (Oklahoma)
Olivia is a skilled pitcher who throws in the mid 60’s and has a great build to become even better. She has an outstanding drop ball and change-up and is working on a rise.The 5-foot-10 Oklahoma native drew heavy recruiting interest because of her versatility and athleticism. She plays basketball and runs track and has come close to setting her high school 200-meter mark already. This fall on the field Olivia went 31-4 with 237 K’s in 210 innings and a 1.19 ERA as her high school team made it to the Class 5A state final. She was rewarded with All-Metro Pitcher of the Year honors.
48—Cassie Lindmark, C… Illinois Chill (uncommitted)
Cassie is a 5-foot-10 catcher with exceptional receiving and blocking mechanics already. Coaches say what they first notice about her when they walk up to the field is how well she frames and blocks. She is fundamentally one of the best defensive catchers in the country. Her blocking skills have saved numerous base advancements on a staff with four dropball pitchers and the confidence the coaches and pitchers have in her allows them to call any pitch at any time. Cassie also has outstanding offensive potential and is a middle of the line-up hitter. She has offers from several Big Ten schools as well as an SEC power.
47—Karla Hice, C… Huntsville Sparks (uncommitted)
Karla had a big week at PGF Nationals last summer where she drew SEC attention after hitting several home runs and throwing out multiple runners trying to steal bases. She has been clocked at 66 mph overhanded and as an eighth grader helped her high school team finish tied for 5th in the Alabama Class 5A state playoffs. In one game, she had three hits and four RBIs. A tough out at the plate, Karla can hit for average and power and one coach said of her hitting, “She has some juice in her bat.”
46—Jadelyn Allchin, P/IF/OF… OC Batbusters – Campbell (Washington)
Jadelyn is a versatile, athletic player who can line-up in almost every position. She has an unbelievable arm and throws lasers. At the plate, she can stroke with the best. Jadelyn is new to Mark Campbell’s OC Batbuster 14U team which is one of the most talent-laden in the country and a favorite to win it all in 2016. She had a great fall and coaches have been impressed with how she’s improved so quickly in large part because she has skills and talents you can’t teach. She was offered by Pac-12 schools and Big 12 programs before committing to Washington.
45—Madison Hirsch, IF… Texas Glory (uncommitted)
Madison, who goes by the nickname “Coco,” is the classic middle infielder but is talented and versatile enough to play third, catch or even line up in center field. She is a switch-hitter who is 5-foot-3 but plays big. She has good lateral quickness and isn’t afraid to dive and she doesn’t do it just for show: Coco can come up with the big stop and throw like a pro. Offensively, she has power to all fields with her smooth, compact stroke. The Texan reminds some of Chaley Brickey, the Kansas shortstop who was a 1st Team All-Big 12 honoree last year and earned All-Big 12 Defensive Team honors.
44—McKenzie Barbara, C/1B… So Cal Choppers – Fausett (Ole Miss)
McKenzie is an elite catcher/first baseman who had Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC schools after her since the Boulder IDT last summer when her Choppers team won the 14U title. The momentum continued into the TC/USA National Championships two weeks later in Reno, where McKenzie hit two home runs and the Choppers win the championship. Then at PGF, she slugged another pair of homers and she became coveted by major programs nationwide. Super strong—she can deadlift 300 pounds and back squat 245 pound max—she is an excellent backstop and her hitting, which included a .480 average last summer with 15 home runs, 32 doubles and 55 RBI, completes the deal. She’s also cousins with Bella Dayton, the No. 55 ranked player in the 2019 Hot 100.
43—Karli Petty, MIF… Gametime Stars (Oklahoma State)
Karli has tremendous speed and a very smart and aggressive baserunner. She is a typical leadoff who is a true triple threat at the plate. She hits for power but can soft slap or bunt when needed. Karli is extremely good at reading the defenses to attack offensively. She is a team leader and controls the infield at shortstop. The Oklahoma star, who is also a force at third and can cover tremendous ground in the outfield, was All-City after a strong freshman campaign in the fall. A true utility player, Karli can play any position including catcher. Coaches say she is a game-changer offensively and defensively.
42—Hannah Goodwin, SS… Jacksonville Storm – Davis (uncommitted)
Hannah exploded last summer offensively for the Storm, hitting .485 with a .875 slugging average including 15 home runs. She added five more bombs in the fall landing herself in the middle of the lineup offensively. Hannah completes the package with dynamic hands and arm on the left side of the infield. Hannah is also a passionate hard worker who loves the sport and has her best softball ahead of her. The South Carolina infielder has offers from Big 12 and SEC schools and has visited programs such as South Carolina, Oklahoma State, Florida State and Georgia.
41—Caitlyn McCrary, 3B… Birmingham Thunderbolts-Dorsett/Weekly (Tennessee)
Caitlyn is the prototype power-hitting third baseman who is also a very strong defensive player. The Tennessee native bats third in the Bolts line-up because she has an incredible plate discipline. She can hit to all fields regardless of what pitch she is thrown. Caitlyn is a tireless worker with a high game IQ. At third, she is a strong presence, quick enough to lateral and fast enough to combat the short game. Her arm strength and great accuracy complete the defensive package. Caitlyn committed to Tennessee in April of 2015.
