“Riley is going to put the ball in play and find two to three hits each game. Each one might not be a rocket, but she finds ways to get on base. She also completely shuts down any thoughts of a running game behind the plate.”

Athletic Excellence

The state’s returning Gatorade Softball Player of the Year, the 5-foot-5 senior catcher posted a .605 batting average with 57 runs scored and 51 runs batted in this past season, leading the Maroons (26-10) to the 12th Region semifinals. Hull knocked out 22 doubles and blasted eight home runs while compiling a .669 on-base percentage and a 1.061 slugging percentage. Rated as the No. 38 recruit in the Class of 2021 by Extra Inning, Hull walked 19 times and struck out just once, which was the only strikeout of her prep softball career. A two-time Johnny Bench Award winner, awarded to the top catcher in Kentucky, she threw out 8 of 20 runners attempting to steal a base.
