She brings game-changing speed to the field, clocking an impressive 2.85 from home to first that puts constant pressure on defenses. In the circle, she commands her pitches with confidence and consistency, giving her team a reliable presence every time she takes the ball. Vick is also competing in high-level tournaments, gaining experience against top competition and continuing to elevate her game. Coaches and teammates know her as a leader who shows up, works hard on her own, and sets the standard for those around her. She has all the tools and intangibles to become a standout college pitcher in the years ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":149764,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Kioni Reed","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"18","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Saint Leo the Great Catholic School","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Extreme Fastpitch 2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691b67f4c4c6c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kioni Reed is a competitor who continues to raise her level through consistent work both on her own and in lessons. Just two months ago, she delivered a shutout performance against the strong SoCal Choppers Fausett 2013 team, showing poise and command in a high pressure matchup. Her changeup is a true weapon that keeps hitters off balance, and she pairs it with a powerful bat that brings home run potential to any lineup. Reed also played a key role in helping her team capture the PGF Nationals 12U Platinum title, proving she can perform on the biggest stages. Her growth, mindset, and ability to impact the game on both sides make her a future college standout.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":149766,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Sanieya Jackson","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"18","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Houston Junior High","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Bombers Gold National-Bryant 12U","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691b67f4c4da5"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Sanieya Jackson has already built an impressive resume, earning Pitcher of the Tournament honors at the Bomber Shootout, Lone Star Elite Invitational, and Super Elite Invitational in 2025, along with co-Pitcher of the Tournament recognition at the Prospect Wire Spring Battle. She also claimed Offensive Player of the Tournament at the Lone Star Elite Invitational, showing how impactful she is on both sides of the ball. Jackson throws a full mix of pitches that keep hitters guessing, and she swings the bat well, giving her team production in multiple roles. She credits her success to staying positive and always giving her best effort, which is a mindset that elevates everyone around her. With her continued development and attendance at college camps, Jackson is positioning herself as one of the top lefty prospects in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":144543,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ellie Fleming","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"18","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Plainview","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"TN Mojo 2011-Brown","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691b67f4c4eac"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ellie Fleming is already competing beyond her age group, playing up in 16U at the Eastern Elite Showcase, where she struck out eight of the 11 batters she faced, and posted a .700 batting average at the plate. In the circle, she brings advanced velocity, sitting comfortably between 61 and 64 miles per hour with the ability to touch 65. Her curve and rise ball are both elite for her age, giving her swing-and-miss stuff that overwhelms hitters. Fleming also has impressive speed with a 2.63 home-to-first time, adding another layer to her versatility and athleticism. With her command, power, and ability to succeed against older competition, she is firmly on track to become a top pitching prospect in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":146753,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Addison Windell","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"18","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"NW Vandals 14A u0026amp; 16A","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-691b67f4c4fae"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Addison Windell is a powerful and disciplined pitcher who continues to elevate her game through hard work, especially in the weight room. She features a strong mix of pitches, including a drop ball, curve, and rise, but her changeup has become her true difference-maker. At the NIT 2025 exposure tournament, she recorded 11 swing-and-miss strikeouts, with nine coming from her changeup alone. She also hit an exciting milestone, being clocked consistently in the 60s for the first time in a game, sitting between 58 and 61 miles per hour, with a changeup ranging from 45 to 49. Windell posted a 1.75 ERA at the event and backed up her pitching success with a .500 batting average at the plate. Her velocity jump, pitch movement, and two-way production make her one of the most promising lefty pitchers in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

The 2030 class is full of rising talent, and its group of left-handed pitchers stands out in a big way. These young athletes bring a mix of velocity, movement, athleticism, and maturity that is already showing up at high-level tournaments. Many are playing up, earning awards, and developing the tools that project well to the next level.
