50 Morgan Maze
#50 - Morgan Maze
3B/1B Birmingham Thunderbolts uncommitted
Morgan is a power-hitting third baseman with a great glove and strong arm. She is consistent at the plate and doesn't get cheated in her at-bats. Morgan is a vocal leader on the field and is in constant communication with her teammates. Her father, Shawn, is her head coach with the Thunderbolts so she's grown up around the game, is intelligent and has great instincts. She has offers from Alabama-Birmingham and Samford and is being recruited by Auburn and South Alabama as well.
49 Lindsay Edwards
#49 - Lindsay Edwards
C/3B Texas Glory uncommitted
Lindsay can play anywhere on the field except pitcher. She's primarily a third baseman, catcher and middle infielder right now. The Texas freshman is a heady, "softball smart" player who has a great eye at the plate and doesn't strike out much. A fierce competitor, Lindsay is a tremendous leader and teammate and on defense has a good arm and makes all the plays. She's also a standout volleyball player.
48 Peyton Glatter
#48 - Peyton Glatter
OF/UT Nebraska Gold Nebraska
Peyton is a very strong hitting outfielder who has dominated at the club and high school levels driving in runs (74 RBI in 82 games last summer), getting extra-base hits and having an on-base percentage over .500. She played for her father, Ryan, and the Nebraska Fury last year before jumping to the Gold-Heard team. Peyton lost her mother, Nicki, to cancer in December, but committed to the Huskers before her mother's death. With a work ethic to get better every day, her passion to excel like her mother did playing college softball will make Peyton a player all will root for.
47 Amani Bradley
#47 - Amani Bradley
OF Corona Angels uncommitted
Amani was one of the stars on the Angels 14U team that won the PGF Nationals last summer and led the team in hits, RBI and average (.480). She can go on a tear at the plate as shown by last November's Diamond9 Classic where she reached base 10 times in a row. Amani has excellent speed and is a triple-threat slapper who adjusts to what the situation needs. In the outfield, she gets a great first step jump on the ball and covers a ton of ground. The SoCal freshman is hearing from major schools across the country including Arizona, Georgia, Georgia Tech and Virginia.
46 Reagan Richardson
#46 - Reagan Richardson
P/IF Texas Glory Texas State
Reagan is a right-handed pitcher with a big arm who mixes in a good riseball and a nice change. She has experience pitching in big games and is able to perform her best in crucial situations. Reagan was the first 2018 commit for the Glory organization and the first freshman pick-up for Texas State where she'll be tutored by Cat Osterman. She was considered one of the top 10 players at the Surf City Showcase last fall and isn't afraid to travel: she's been with the Glory more than seven years and travels 2 _ hours one way for practices.
45 Faith Jarvis
#45 - Faith Jarvis
OF/IF Lady Lightning Gold Team Miken uncommitted
Faith's forte is her great speed, which makes her threat at the plate, on the bases and, defensively, in the outfield where it is hard to put a ball past year. She creates havoc when she puts the ball on the dirt, but come up too close and she'll pop one down the line, in a gap or over the fence too. A constant base stealing threat, she keeps the defense on its toes and unsettles the defense. Faith has received interest from SEC schools like Mississippi State and Georgia as well as her home-state university, North Carolina.
44 Katlyn Pavlick
#44 - Katlyn Pavlick
3B Ohio Outlaws Pittsburgh
Katlyn started in baseball when she was five, which accelerated her skill development. By the time she was 12 she was playing softball up in 18U showcases and more than held her own. Katlyn has all the tools and can bat for average and power with speed that keeps a defense on its heels. Last summer for the Outlaws travel team she hit .485 with 28 doubles and 18 home runs. At the 2014 USSSA World Series, Katlyn was the Offensive MVP and led her team to a first-place finish and a 9-0 record.
43 Madison Crosslin
#43 - Madison Crosslin
OF DeMarini Aces uncommitted
Madison is a lefty slapper who has developed into a dangerous power hitter as well. She has 2.7-second speed down the first-base line and hit .458 over the winter season playing for the Aces 18U team. Madison also has good size to go with her speed and major colleges are noticing. She is being recruited by national programs like Missouri, Michigan and UCLA and has been invited by each of the universities to their elite camps.
42 Audrie LaValley
#42 - Audrie LaValley
MIF Oklahoma Athletics Oklahoma
Audrie is a strong left-handed hitter who is following in her brother's "stick-and-ball" footsteps as Gavin LaValley was a 4th round draft pick by the Reds last summer. Audrie is a smooth, gifted shortstop who knows the game and, at the plate, has a strong command of the strike zone with power to all fields. Audrie is fluid through the hips and drives the ball well to the left center gap but can pull it too. She led her high school team to state last fall.
41 Macy Omli
#41 - Macy Omli
OF Wichita Mustangs 16U uncommitted
Macy attended the 2014 OnDeck West Coast Elite Camp last October and was one of the fastest girls of all the elite attendees there. Though still eligible to play 14U, she'll be on the Mustangs 16U team where she will lead off and play centerfield. Last summer she was 44-for-46 in steals and scored 58 runs in 59 games. Macy covers a lot of ground and has an above average arm. Some feel she could be the best outfielder ever from the program and that includes freshman standout Emily Griggs at LSU. Macy is receiving interest from Big 12 and SEC schools.
