Scouting report: lefty hitter who throws right, gap power and a smooth swing through the box, she is a good all-around athlete who moves well and has good foot speed. Defensively, she is economical in her movements and her arm is outstanding.

Quotable: “Hannah got a lot of time in Florida last fall at the Diamond9 Sun Classic because of injuries. There she called the pitches and she’s called pitches at other tournaments too. We project her to be a great player, she drives two hours for a half hour hitting lesson, that’s how serious she is about softball.”
Donny Dreher, head coach of Finesse
