Top 2029 Prospects To Watch In Indiana

It is never too early to think ahead to perfect temperatures and the beginning of spring softball. For freshmen, it is a chance to make their names known and become regulars in the starting lineup. It helps if you have already proven yourself on the softball field time and again. The players on this list have done just that.   Below, Prep Softball highlights five of the top 2029 high school softball prospects to watch in Indiana.    Jordan Perry has been putting up consistent numbers while taking the field with the Tennessee Mojo. This summer, she was named the Offensive Player of the Tournament for the 2025 Laser Nation Showcase, and was named to the All-Tournament team for the Firecracker Showcase. Overall, the West Lafayette, Ind. product has 86 hits in 183 at-bats while playing for the Dombkowski-led TN Mojo squad, to go along with a .470 batting average, 60 runs scored, 30 RBIs, and 20 walks. She has a strong arm, with an overhand throwing velocity up to 62 mph, and is also quick on her feet, finishing the 20-yard dash in 2.8 seconds. She is a dedicated student with a 4.0 GPA and a reliable defender who can play anywhere in the outfield. She also regularly gets on base, currently holding a .519 on-base percentage.     Nora Standeford already has some experience playing on the big stage. The high school freshman went out on top with the Plainfield Community Middle School Quakers earlier this year as county champions. For the season, she had a .500 batting average with 17 hits, 15 RBIs, and 13 stolen bases. She continued that hot streak into the summer while playing for the Indiana Gators. At two separate competitions, she had an on-base percentage of over .500 and compiled six walks, a batting average of over .330, and four stolen bases. Her speed came into play especially at the Moneyball Invite this fall. After drawing a walk in a scoreless matchup, she promptly stole three bags to score the game's only run. In that tournament alone, she racked up seven stolen bases. Just a week later, she scored a game-winning run once again, racing home from second base after a dropped third strike. With speed like that, she has the potential to drive pitchers and catchers crazy.     A pitcher's work is never done. After a solid season in the circle for the Brownsburg West Middle School Bulldogs, in which she hurled 76 strikeouts and had a 2.25 ERA, Rylee Amt was quickly back out on the field for more. The righthander's bread and butter is her curveball, which elicits weak contact. She also has a rise, drop, and changeup in her arsenal. Earlier this year, she clocked in at 64 mph for her pitch velocity, and has been working on adding a screwball to the mix for her upcoming freshman season. At the plate, she recently had a productive weekend at the Moneyball Invitational, in which she had a .500 batting average, five hits, two RBIs and zero strikeouts. She is a determined young player who was recently selected to play in the 2025 Scenic City Fall All Star Games in Chattanooga, Tenn. in November.     It was a hot summer for Nora Bauermeister at the plate. At the USSSA Battle of the Bats Tournament in May, she helped her Gators squad to an undefeated record with a .588 batting average and a .611 on-base percentage. The following month, at the USSSA BowNet Classic, she showed her versatility at the plate, reaching base three times in one game by using the entire field and by bunting, slapping, and swinging away. Finally, at the Colorado 4th of July tournament, she had a .471 batting average in 17 at-bats. While only a freshman, she is already adept at putting the ball in play and going with pitches. The Center Grove Trojans are consistently in the mix when it comes to postseason play, and Bauermeister fits right in.     At 5'11, Addison Mikolanis stays busy playing both volleyball and softball. In the circle, she has found success using her expansive arsenal, including a curveball with a -5.0 vertical break and a 73.6 spin efficiency, a fastball up to 64 mph, and a changeup that can slow down to 48.3 mph. Her best pitch may be her curveball that she utilized to great success at Alliance Nationals in July. With the bases loaded and a 2-2 count, she unleashed a curve that started at the batter's elbow and ended at her knees. With the consistent competition she is able to face in travel ball, she will be well prepared come springtime and the beginning of her high school career.

It is never too early to think ahead to perfect temperatures and the beginning of spring softball. For freshmen, it is a chance to make their names known and become regulars in the starting lineup. It helps if you have already proven yourself on the softball field time and again. The players on this list have done just that.
