A Northwestern commit from talent-rich Northern California, Macosky’s stock continues to rise as a junior, particularly with her defense at shortstop. And it’s not that her offense has been lacking—she is batting .458 at the time of this writing through eight games this year with three doubles, two triples and a home run. But Macosky’s glove is already elite. She can dive to her backhand side to stop hard-hit ground balls, then make a strong, accurate throw to first base from her knees. Macosky can also drive the ball in the air with authority to both the pull side and the opposite field. She was named to the East Bay Athletic League first team last spring, helping Livermore win the league title and reach the North Coast Section Division II championship game.
