“Tiare Jennings delivers in all facets of the game. Offensively she is the most feared power hitter in her class and defensively she carries a forceful presence on the dirt. She is the adult on the field at all times.”
Mike Stith
Head Coach - Jennings’ summer ball coach with the OC Batbusters

Athletic Excellence


The 5-foot-8 senior shortstop returned from an injury-plagued junior year to spark the Saints to an 8-0 start in 2020 before the season was cancelled. Jennings posted a .710 batting average with 19 runs batted in, 18 runs scored, six home runs and a 1.483 slugging percentage this spring. The 2017 Southern Section Division 6 Player of the Year as a freshman, Jennings is ranked as the nation’s No. 2 recruit in the Class of 2020 by Extra Inning Softball. She led the OC Batbusters to a fifth-place finish at the PGF National Championships last July, then hit 16 home runs over 36 games for the Batbusters during this past fall.

Jennings has maintained a weighted 4.25 GPA in the classroom. She has signed a national letter of intent to play softball on scholarship at the University of Oklahoma.

Exemplary Character
