2018 Mikayla Santa Cruz P (AZ Cats) -- Cruz is a competitive athlete who can dial it up to 64/65 on the radar gun. She's not real big but has the heart and character that project success at the next level. She has won some big games for the AZ Cats over the past several years. Without a doubt, Cruz is one of the better 2018 pitching prospects still available.
2019 Bradianne Glover OF/SS (Sorcerers) -- Glover is an outstanding athlete who came away with the highest Athletic Index in the Elite Camp. The lefty slapper has the legit speed needed to slap and can swing away, too. She's a solid defender both in the outfield and on the dirt. She will be a major hitter at the next level.

2020 Violet Zavodnik OF (American Pastime) -- Outfielder Zavodnik is no longer underrated and flying under the radar. She first burst upon the scene at the Colorado National Jamboree this summer. Fast and athletic -- she can run, throw, hit for average and for power. She is one of the top outfield prospects on the West Coast in this class.
2020 Ashley Donaldson C/OF (San Jose Sting Perales) -- Donaldson is a top catching prospect with strong pop times hovering around 1.7. She recorded one pop time at 1.69, which we simply do not see very often. Catcher isn't her only position; she has the versatility to play outfield. Donaldson is a solid hitter who will hit for a high average. Hands down, one of the best true catching prospects in her class.
2021 Rylee Holtorf 2B/SS (AZ Storm 14U) -- Holtorf is one of the best young players in the state of Arizona and on the entire West Coast. Oozing with potential both offensively and defensively, she is a playmaker with unbelievable range in the infield. She is a sound hitter who will ultimately hit for both power and average. She is projected to be highly recruited by the Power 5.
2021 Paige Sinicki SS/2B (Silver State Punishers) -- Sinicki turned heads on both Thursday and Friday with an athleticism, skill set, and intensity that was impossible to miss. Coaches were buzzing about her both days. Quick and strong, she has instincts for the game that are unusual in one so young. She is a surprising talent from Nevada who now will be on many college lists.
2022 Jordan Woolery SS/3B (Lady Magic 14U) -- Woolery is a high-level talent with great size and athleticism. Her talent was proof that she can play at the highest levels in the future. She can really do it all and will only get better in the years ahead. Woolery is expected to be one of the top recruits in the next two years.
2022 Kaila Pollard SS/2B (OC Batbusters Flores) -- Pollard is a great offensive talent from the Batbuster organization. She has a chance to be one of the West Coast's best in this class.
