With her team set to begin play again in October, she's already picked up with other squads, showcasing her versatility and competitive edge wherever she plays. Off the diamond, she's staying sharp by playing volleyball, which is a testament to her athleticism and commitment to staying game-ready. Widely regarded as one of the most respected recruits in the 2030 class, Avery's early-season hustle and leadership are exactly why she's already drawing attention from college coaches.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143606"],"_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":144682,"_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-68caf6756780a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Aubree Kitterman is balancing a packed fall schedule, and she still finds ways to shine. While volleyball and cheer are keeping her busy, she's gearing up for a big softball season ahead. One of the top pitchers in the 2030 class, Aubree consistently throws in the mid-60s, commanding the circle with power and precision. Her recent appearance at the All-American Games in OKC only added to her growing reputation, proving she can compete with the best and thrive under pressure. With her athleticism and drive, Aubree's is a name you'll be hearing a lot more about in both the present and future.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["143166"],"_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":144805,"_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-68caf7394eec3"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Emersyn Haney is already putting in the work, and it shows. Even though she's still years away from being eligible to commit to a Division I softball program, she's not waiting around. She's consistently training to improve her strength and speed, and she's a regular at camps that sharpen her game. A versatile defender at second base and in center field, Emersyn batted over .500 this summer with an on-base percentage above .600, and she didn't record a single error in the field all season. Her recent appearance at the All-American Games in OKC added another highlight to her growing resume, and it's clear she's building something special.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["144435"],"_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":144806,"_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-68caf808ad8cc"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Kolbie Crook is proving she belongs among the best in the country. One of just nine players from five Southeastern states invited to the final tryout for the Women's National 13U Team, Kolbie is making a name for herself on a national stage. A dedicated middle infielder, she's committed to constant improvement, whether it's by refining her glove work, sharpening her footwork, or pushing herself in training. Her invitation to the elite tryout is a reflection of her talent, work ethic, and rising reputation in the 2030 class.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["109241"],"_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":144807,"_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-68caf8ff2c4cb"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Peyton White is the kind of athlete who checks every box, and then some. A multi-sport standout from the 2030 class, Peyton is already making waves behind the plate with an impressive 1.87 pop time. Her power at the plate is just as notable, with multiple home runs this past summer and a presence that commands attention. She helped lead her team to a 2025 Alliance Tier II National Championship at the 14U level, competing against some of the toughest talent in the country. Off the field, Peyton excels in the classroom, proving she's just as driven academically as she is athletically. With her work ethic, versatility, and high-level experience, Peyton is destined for great things ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->

Fall ball is in full swing, and the 2030 class is already turning heads. These young athletes are stepping up with standout performances, strong fundamentals, and a competitive edge that's hard to ignore.
