2029s We Are Taking Notice Of This Summer

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>With the summer recruiting season nearly reaching its end, it's been a fantastic stretch of evaluation and observation for Prep Softball. Our scouts have had the opportunity to see thousands of players around the country, and with that, gain an understanding of the very best prospects out there.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below, Prep Softball highlights five prospects from the high school class of 2029 who we are taking notice of this summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158493"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":182327,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5e405d3d1e7"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoe Simpson of Texas is a rising star in the 2029 class. A talented catcher and corner infielder, Simpson attends Ball High School and has already made an impression there. Holding a 3.56 GPA in the classroom and playing multiple sports, including volleyball, Simpson makes some serious noise on the softball field with both her bat and glove. She holds things down behind the plate for her squad and helps her pitching staff succeed as a result. Simpson is also a member of the National Junior Honor Society, and plays club ball for Strykers Mata-Gomez 16U.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158484"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5e405d3d288"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peyton Gorajski of Illinois is a player to watch in her class. Competing for both Andrew High School and the Chicago Cheetahs, Gorajski gets it done for her teams in the middle infield, in the circle as a pitcher, and as a utility player. She also makes things happen with her bat, and hits from the left side of the plate with impressive speed. A right-handed thrower, Gorajski also holds a 3.64 GPA in the classroom and was a 2025 USA Softball All-American.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["159607"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5e405d3d302"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Zoey Pratt out of Texas is a stellar prospect in her class. Serving as a catcher and second baseman for both Mansfield Lake Ridge High School and Lady Dukes National 16U Bryant, Pratt has an average pop time of 1.69 with a personal-best of 1.6. With a 4.0 GPA in the classroom, she played a challenging schedule this summer and thrived. We expect her to continue to improve her already impressive skill set as time goes on and her recruiting journey progresses.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158572"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":182332,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5e405d3d37a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mickey Branson from Georgia is a budding star in her class.

Holding a 4.0 GPA and earning First-Team All-Region 7A last season, Branson is also a multi-sport athlete who competes in basketball. She played a competitive summer slate on the club circuit and will enter her fall high school season with plenty of momentum to build upon.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["180135"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":["override_image"],"_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":182335,"_player_evaluations_0_player_featured_image":"field_62f141137ead9","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6a5e405d3d3ef"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Josselyn Flores of Verrado High School in Arizona is a talented 2029 middle infielder, catcher, and first baseman. Competing for TN Mojo Ramsey - Diaz on the club circuit, Flores bats right-handed and has an exit velocity of 58 mph. She also has a cannon of an arm and often keeps runners from stealing bases. To boot, she holds a 3.67 GPA and has already attended multiple college camps and clinics to both improve her skills and get on the radars of college coaches. We expect that her recruiting process will continue to ramp up over time.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
