“She hits the ball well in all zones with power to all fields. She also puts the ball in play consistently, making her a tough out. Defensively, she has a ton of range, gets great reads on balls off the bat and is very aggressive. She has a great arm and is the type of player that makes coaches second-guess sending runners.”
