100 Maggie Cannon
#100 - Maggie Cannon
P Wagner's M/D uncommitted
Maggie is a 5-foot-9 athletic pitcher who throws in the 62-64 mph range and has mastered a strong curve, change, drop, rise and screw ball. She joined Wagner's M/G Gold in August and has become a mainstay on the pitching staff. The Maryland standout freshman has attracted the attention of several D1 programs and is one of the fastest rising prospects in the Mid-Atlantic states.
99 Kiana Tate
#99 - Kiana Tate
SS/OF Lil Rebels - RC Seton Hall
Kiana is an athletic middle infielder who tested in the 98% of all players measured in the OnDeck Measurements index. She is an outstanding leadoff batter who hit .429 at last summer's PGF 14U Nationals. The Las Vegas freshman had interest from Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC schools but chose to follow her sister Jaden, also a middle infielder who is a year older, to the Big East.
98 Jennifer Bressler
#98 - Jennifer Bressler
P/2B Michigan Pride 00 uncommitted
Jennifer is a talented pitcher and infielder who went 36-9 last summer with 287 strikeouts and a 0.77 ERA while batting .364. She is hearing from Big 10, Pac-12 and SEC schools because, though not a high velocity pitcher (60 mph), she has great spin and location topped with a tough rise ball. Jennifer is mentally tough and benefits from playing for her father, Dan, who is the head coach of the Pride.
97 Kelsey Bennett
#97 - Kelsey Bennett
SS/C Atlanta Premier - Perkins Virginia Tech
Kelsey committed to Virginia Tech in December after leading her Georgia high school team to a state championship last fall. An excellent athlete who also plays basketball, Kelsey has been coached by ex-Georgia Tech head coach Sharon Perkins for the last three years and, not surprisingly, has advanced skills and technique. Her brother, Connor, is a West Virginia baseball commit.
96 Jessica Ross
#96 - Jessica Ross
P/1B Victory USA - Moore uncommitted
The ace on a top 14U team, Jessica has six pitches she can throw for strikes: a fastball, curve, rise, screw, drop and change. She has been offered by George Washington--a teammate is committed to the Atlantic 10 school--and is getting Pac-12 interest as well. Her ceiling is very high as she has only played club ball six months after playing for her father's large So Cal rec program for many years.
95 Billie McFadyen
#95 - Billie McFadyen
MIF Texas Glory uncommitted
Billie is softball smart and athletic. She is not really big, but hits for average and has a knack for getting on base. Billie helped her 16U team finish 2nd in Silver at the TCS 16U Nationals last summer and 13th overall at ASA 16U Gold Nationals. She plays on the 14U TAV National Volleyball team and in middle school had several first in the discus.
94 Nicole Bechtel
#94 - Nicole Bechtel
C/3B Rock Gold South Florida
Nicole committed to South Florida in early March. She is considered one of the top power hitting catchers in the country. Coaches say her power is off the charts because of great bat speed. She has been measured with 74 exit speed off the bat. A workhorse with a great work ethic, Nicole is also a strong leader already and seniors on her club and high school seniors look up to her.
93 Tyani Lowe
#93 - Tyani Lowe
3B Explosion - Flores uncommitted
Tyani plays a mechanically sound third base and is big and strong already with the frame coaches love. She is learning how to use the excellent skills and tools she has and, playing for one of the fastest rising teams in the 14U division, Tyani is developing her swing to complement her excellent defensive abilities.
92 Tina Clark
#92 - Tina Clark
P/OF/MIF Ohio Outlaws uncommitted
The Buckeye State freshman can play almost everywhere, from pitcher to outfield to middle infield. Her versatility and toughness--she wanted to continue pitching with a dislocated finger on her throwing hand--is why Big 10 and SEC schools are looking at her. She compiled a 0.52 ERA with 213 strikeouts last summer while throwing three no-hitters and batting .452 herself on the club circuit.
91 Kaylee Chapman
#91 - Kaylee Chapman
SS Birmingham Thunderbolts uncommitted
A smooth fielding middle infielder who continues to improve, Kaylee was an All-County select in Alabama as an eighth grader last year. The right-hander has good all-round abilities and advanced skills including good ball-to-hand transfer and range at either short or second. At the plate she can drive the ball to either field and has better than average speed.
