A tall, powerful right-handed bat, Lila Peters is always a threat to flip a game on its head with one swing. Pitches on the outer edge of the plate are practically asking to get crushed as Peters extends her arms and launches towering, majestic fly balls and screaming line drives that often carry all the way over the fence. Her home runs go to all parts of the field, but she can also surprise defenses by laying down a well-placed bunt. Peters is an excellent defender at first base, reacting quickly to hot liners on her backhand side and ranging toward the middle of the infield to take charge on high-topspin pop-ups and bunts. She has a strong, accurate arm as well, and also competes in the shot put and discus on the track and field team. She has been to camps at Arkansas, LSU and Ole Miss within the last few months.

A two-way player who plays first base in the field, Lila Peters made waves while playing club ball for Texas Glory. At the NTFCA Fall Showdown in October, Peters helped her team to the championship going, 4-for-9 at the plate with two home runs and six RBIs. At the Ronald McDonald tournament held later that same month, she was productive in Texas Glory’s lineup, going 3-for-6 while driving one runner in. Peters went to camps at Arkansas and Ole Miss over the summer and is a player on the radar of SEC coaches.
