| #100... Morgan Neal (IF, Tulsa Elite)--Tulsa Morgan is a lefty hitting middle infielder with home run power. She' s a five-tool player and has been clocked at 2.78 home-to-first with an overhand throw at 66 mph.

She has great range at short, but can play any infield position as well as the outfield. |
|---|
| #99... Makayla Martin (P, So Cal Athletics-Myers/McNee)--Auburn The 5-foot-11 San Diego product is a two-way threat as she is improving yearly in the circle but is also a danger at the plate. She went 13-4 with a 1.52 ERA as a sophomore and opponents only hit .187 off her. On offense, Makayla hit .406 and added 40 RBI. She throws in the 63-64 mph range and has a really heavy drop with a good change and screwball to complement it. |
| #98... Madison McCracken (C/3B/OF, KC Peppers)--Notre Dame Maddie is best when the pressure is on, demonstrated by her hitting three grand slams last year with two winning games. At the prep level she batted .510 and had 26 walks (16 of them intentional). She's an excellent defensive catcher with a strong arm and carries a GPA over 4.0. Maddie also slugged a three-run homer at PGF Nationals to help the Peppers advance. |
| #97... Julie McDonald (P, Batbusters-Fox)--San Diego State Julie was a pick-up for the OC Batbusters-Myers team in last summer's PGF 16U Nationals and she helped lead the team to the title game where they lost to the Beverly Bandits 2-0, but both runs were unearned. She throws in the 62-63 range, keeps the ball down and is tough to hit due to an excellent drop ball. Her upside is very high. |
| #96... Ashley Ross (P, Explosion)--Boston College Ashley is a gamer who can hit for power and play first, but her future is at pitcher. She throws consistently in the 61-62 mph range with a great curve ball and screwball. Ashley has always played at the highest level at any age group and her teams are always rated top 10 with her leading the way. Expect big things from her over the next two years. |
| #95... Kelsee Cullop (OF, Gold Coast Hurricanes)--uncommitted Kelsee is a fast-rising prospect who's one of the top sleepers in the junior class. A silky smooth outfielder who can throw out runners at third from deep in right field, she was 2nd team all-state in 2013 and 1st team all-county. On offense she has a gap line-drive stroke and should be one of the prospects in Florida the next two years. |
| #94... Olivia Sanchez (P, Firecrackers-Blanco)--BYU Olivia is a strong pitcher with good movement on her throws. She went 16-6 with a 1.42 ERA and was her league's MVP as a sophomore, taking over the starting role seven games into the season when the previous starter went down with an injury. Olivia also has some pop in her bat and clubbed eight home runs and 25 RBI to earn CalHiSports.com 2nd team All-State Underclass honors. |
| #93... Skylar McCarty (OF, Firecrackers-Arizona)--Washington Skylar has been on the national radar since her freshman year when she earned all-state honorable mention honors. Some think she's the top player in a strong Arizona junior class. Skylar hit .576 with 14 home runs and 47 RBI as a sophomore and has speed on the basepaths combined with power and the ability to hit for average. She also plays an outstanding centerfield. |
| #92... Sabrina Turner (IF, Jersey Intensity)--Mississippi State Sabrina is a fierce competitor who led her team to the Mississippi state championship and in the two title games had a 0.00 ERA. She was the state 3A Player of the Year after compiling a 21-1 mark with a 1.12 ERA and 142 Ks in 118 innings. She throws seven pitches including a rollover drop and screwball and is a switch-hitter at the plate with gap power from the right side and small ball weapons from the left. |
| #91... Mallory Belknap (IF, Arizona Hotshots)--Georgia Mallory is a solid middle who plays shortstop in high school but will probably play second in college. She's a great contact hitter who never strikes out and hit .495 as a sophomore. She could also threatened the state record for hits. Mallory played in the Triple Crown Sports All-American game in Colorado last summer and is a great all-around athlete: she went to cross-country nationals and was undefeated on the state championship badminton team. |
