100 | Hailey Painter, MIF | Sorcerer - Gabales

Sorcerer Schroll's 14U team double dipped a very talented Diamond Sports Hotshots favorite to advance to the PGF 14 Premier National Championship game and Painter was a big part of their success. A true freshman at Antioch High School team as well, Painter was named to the SF Chronicle 2018 All-Metro softball team after batting .468, 35 RBI, 11 doubles, and 6 home runs. Her skills on the infield have attracted Pac-12 powerhouses and top mid-major schools. Painter makes the jump to Sorcerer Gabales 18U and will definitely be a big contributor as the season progresses. Defensively, her footwork, glovework are smooth and fluid comparable the top middles in the classes above her. 

99 | Sophia Voyles, P | Impact Gold - Lang (Georgia Tech)

As a freshman pitcher last season, Voyles appeared in 15 games. She held a 1.72 ERA, striking out 48 in 36 2/3 innings. Voyles secured big wins over Georgia Impact Gussaeff, Atlanta Vipers Trowell, PA Strikers and other big name teams from the south. Injuries setback the success of Voyles but she's pitched in big moments and knows how to compete against Top 25 teams. Her spin is what sets her apart with a curve that can be thrown back door, low outside, and high and away. 

98 | Alyssa Vasquez, C/1B | Corona Angels - Slye (Nebraska)

An untimely injury sidelined Vasquez who is the usual starter for Marty Tyson's Corona Angels PGF National Championship squad. Before going down, she held down the cleanup spot in the lineup batting over .400 with a .444 on-base percentage. Vasquez verbally committed to Nebraska mid-October 2017. Vasquez moves up one division to Corona Angels - Slye.

97 | Allison Ha, 2B/OF | So Cal Choppers - Fausett

So Cal Choppers had a stellar summer and Allison Ha has been an unassuming presence who knocks the crap out of the ball. Ha lead So Cal Choppers Fausett in home runs (5), doubles (14), OPS (1.077). The Choppers placed first in TCS Firecracker Invitational, TC/USA Nationals, USA Preps National, 3rd in Boulder IDT, 7th PGF Premier. Ha can run the 40-yard dash in 5.461 seconds. She registered a 74.7 mph bat speed, 76 mph exit speed, and can apply those numbers to dingers and doubles.

96 | Madison Taylor, P/1B | Indiana Gators (Florida State)

This 5-foot-10 lanky lefty pitcher is flying under the radar and will soon rise through the ranks of the Hot 100. Her long levers are a pitching coach's dream and her rise ball seems to be every hitter's nightmare. As a freshman at Noblesville High School, she threw 135 innings claiming 124 strikeout victims. Not only a slinger, she fended for herself in the box batting .427 with 27 RBIs, 5 home runs, and an on-base percentage of .484.

95 | McKenna Feringa, P/1B | Mizuno Storm Mathis/Holtorf

Feringa is a right-handed pitcher who throws in the high 50s and will hit the low 60s who possesses great command with a solid late break. Her off-speed has proven to be most effective especially when it came to Storm finishing first at Triple Crown Sparkler and third at PGF 14U Premier Nationals. Bub also had an awesome high school season as a Freshman at Cactus High School recording a 1.24 ERA in 96.1 innings pitched with 95 strikeouts along with a .467 batting driving in 39 RBIs, 12 doubles, and 5 home runs. No big deal.

94 | Taylor Stephens, 2B/P | Firecrackers TJ (UCLA)

In the CIF Quarterfinals, Stephens showcased her Bru-Win mentality coming up clutch hitting a walk-off in the bottom of the eighth inning to advance passed Mater Dei. As a freshman, she batted .382 with 19 RBI and 3 home runs and a .478 on-base percentage. Stephens is not just a hitter, she can also sling the ball from the circle. Before committing to UCLA, Stephens was a highly sought after by Pac-12 and SEC schools that loved her versatility and ability to hit in clutch situations. 

93 | Paige Dimler, OF | Breakers - Labs (Arizona)

Dimler is a very stud talent who stands 5-foot-10. She is a dynamic center fielder that has firmly established herself as a leader on the team. She can play any outfield position as well as first base. Dimler hits for power to all fields and can also power slap. She thrives in pressure situations and is as clutch as they come. For most opponents, Dimler is a deceptive hitter with above average speed. She typically slaps for average and power but her true strength is hitting for power to all fields. She can mash with the best of them. Dimler finished her freshman season at Rancho Buena Vista with 12 home runs which was second in California among freshman. A tireless worker, she is relentless in her goal of helping her team reach their goal of winning a PGF National Championship. For Breakers Labs 16U Blue, she batted .467 with 22 home runs, 15 doubles, 10 triples, with 44 RBI’s and 76 Runs Scored. 

92 | Kendra Falby, OF/SS | Georgia Impact Lewis (Florida)

Land O'Lakes returned to the state title game with a very talented team that included Florida-commit Kendra Falby. She hit .644 with 31 RBI, 11 doubles, and 35 stolen bases. Her savviness on the bases and ability to read the defense is what sets her apart. A true triple threat, Falby can utilize her short game, slap, power slap, and even hit. Being the boss she is, Falby set her high school women's record in the 100m, 200m, and 400m. There's no doubt this speedster will roam the outfield for the gators or set new records for stolen bases. She had offers from Florida State, Tennessee, Central Florida, and South Florida before verbally committing to UF.

91 | Reece Holbrook, MIF | Atlanta Vipers - Holbrook (Virginia)

Virginia found a gem when they locked in Reece Holbrook. The Georgia talent is a two-sport athlete who helped Wesleyan to their first state softball championship. She went 3-for-4 with two home runs, including a walk-off game-winner in the eighth inning, in Wesleyan’s championship-clinching victory over Tattnall Square. Although Holbrook digs the long ball and she is also a terrific base stealer.
