With an impressive exit velocity of 70 mph, Whitman brings power and offensive potential to the lineup. Her dedication to improving her game extends beyond team practices, as she consistently puts in extra work on her hitting, throwing, and defensive skills. She also prioritizes time in the weight room, focusing on building strength and increasing her speed to become a more complete athlete.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["147406"],"_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":193364,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace4f030a320"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Laiken Greiser is proving to be a versatile defensive asset this fall, showcasing her athleticism across multiple positions. Primarily a catcher with a strong arm, Greiser also contributes at first base and in the outfield, giving her team valuable flexibility. At the Lasers Showcase, she helped her squad capture the tournament championship with a perfect 7-0 record, batting .300 and turning an impressive triple play defensively. Her talents have also earned her an invitation to the HPP U-14 National Selection Event. A multi-sport athlete who also competes in basketball and volleyball, Greiser brings athleticism and a competitive mindset to the diamond.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["158440"],"_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":180525,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace4f030a342"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Wylie Dodson is turning heads this fall with her impressive combination of defensive instincts, speed, and offensive production. A natural middle infielder, Dodson makes difficult plays look routine with her quick feet, sharp reaction time, and willingness to lay out for diving stops. Her speed is equally dangerous on the bases, where she consistently puts pressure on opposing defenses. During a September tournament, Dodson delivered an outstanding performance, batting .667 with 12 hits, one home run, two triples, 14 runs scored, eight RBIs, and an incredible 14 stolen bases across seven games. She also went the entire tournament without striking out, helping her team secure a runner-up finish.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["182348"],"_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":195864,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace4f030a363"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700","anchor":"acf-block-6ace4f030a363"} --> <p class="text-gray-700" id="acf-block-6ace4f030a363">Alex McCool is establishing herself as a promising two-way prospect, making contributions both in the circle and at the plate. On the opening day of the PGF Super Select Fall Championship, McCool delivered a strong pitching performance, allowing just one hit, no earned runs, and no walks across 2.2 innings. She also made an impact offensively, going 2-for-3 with a hit-by-pitch and a .750 on-base percentage. McCool continues to focus on increasing her pitching velocity, incorporating plyometric ball training into her development. After reaching a personal-best game speed of 57 mph in July, she remains committed to building on that progress and becoming an even more effective presence on both sides of the ball.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["195772"],"_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":180628,"_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"},"alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6ace790010263"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Erica Tayler is making a strong statement this fall with her ability to dominate both offensively and in the circle. At the Queen of the Hill tournament, Tayler put together an impressive performance, going 7-for-11 at the plate with two home runs, a triple, two doubles, two singles, and three RBIs without recording a strikeout. She was equally effective in the circle, striking out nine batters across seven innings while posting a 0.875 ERA. Her talent has earned her recognition as a 2025 HPP USA Region 6 Qualifier Top Performer and a 2026 HPP invitee. Beyond her tournament success, Tayler is dedicated to improving her physical strength, working closely with a personal trainer in the weight room.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
