Last week, FloSoftball finished up the two-week unveiling of the 2020 Hot 100 and, for the first time ever, we go deeper into a class because the depth in this class is amazing!

Today we look at players #'s 151-200 after listing #'s 101-150 yesterday. Tomorrow we wrap-up with the 2020 Players Watch List.

Note that we believe these players have the talent and abilities to crack the Hot 100 over the next few years and we will definitely be updated the list several times before the freshman class reaches college!

Went 3-1 at PGF Nationals with a 2.30 ERA and 18 Ks in 18 innings. When not pitching is a solid hitter who batted .452 and also had 24 steals.

null200--Rylee Lamb, P… Atlanta Premier -- Ryman (uncommitted)

Measuring in at 5-foot-8, she throws in the high 50's and is following in the footsteps of older sister, Avery, who is a freshman pitcher at Valdosta State. Georgia schools are after her as are several out-of-state programs.
