The left-handed hitter brings a disciplined approach, puts pressure on the defense, and consistently finds ways to reach base. I like her versatility in the middle infield, steady improvement, and commitment to putting in extra work. Carpenter has the tools and competitive mindset to solidify herself as an impact player this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["195802"],"_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":197887,"_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-6aed4c9460716"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Leighton Gordon is a versatile 2030 prospect who could be in for a big spring campaign. I like the athleticism, energy, and team-first approach she brings to the softball diamond as both a catcher and outfielder. Behind the plate, she has an opportunity to provide leadership and become a steady presence for her defense, while her mobility allows her to cover ground in the outfield. That positional flexibility, competitive mindset, and willingness to keep improving give Gordon a chance to make a noticeable impact this season. She is a name I will be tracking closely.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196462"],"_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":197888,"_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-6aed4c9460761"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Blakely Wann is a 2030 two-way prospect who has the tools to make this spring a big one. She has already produced at the varsity level, posting a 1.56 ERA while showing composure and confidence in the circle. I like her ability to control games as a pitcher, compete against older talent, and add value at first base. Playing with a 16U club should continue sharpening her game, and Wann has a chance to become one of the more talked-about young arms this spring.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196208"],"_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":197889,"_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-6aed4c9460783"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emerson Kate Grosvenor is already building an impressive resume heading into the spring. Being named District Pitcher of the Year as an eighth grader speaks to her confidence, command, and ability to handle varsity competition. She is also a two-time PGF national champion who has proven she can perform under high pressure against top-level talent. Add in her value at third base and multi-sport athleticism, and Grosvenor has everything needed to make this a breakout spring. She is one of the top 2030 names I would keep on the radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["196431"],"_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":197890,"_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-6aed4c94607a2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Avery Treece is a 2030 prospect with the experience and versatility to make plenty of noise this spring. She has already competed on the state tournament stage and continues to challenge herself against older competition at the 16U level. I like her presence in the circle, ability to contribute at both corner positions, and willingness to compete in big moments. Treece brings valuable two-way potential, and another strong spring could push her name further onto the recruiting radar.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
