Top 2030 Prospects To Watch In Maine

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>When the last high school softball season concluded in Maine, there were four teams that prevailed over their respective fields in their respective classes. Windham was crowned the Class A champion, Class B championship status was bestowed upon Medomak Valley, the Class C championship was won by Bucksport, and North Yarmouth Academy earned the top prize in Class D.&nbsp;</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Instrumental in those state championships were players who have established themselves as household names across the Pine Tree State. As those names solidify their high school legacies, new names rise through the ranks and ascend to where those current stars are.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Below, Prep Softball highlights the top prospects to watch from Maine in the high school graduating class of 2030.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"[player_tooltip player_id='156008' first='Brielle' last='McIver']","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"20","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"New England Elite 14U Pelletier","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6971469252726"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">New England Elite 14U Pelletier is set to be one of the tougher outs on the travel circuit because of the presence of this rising 2030 name. [player_tooltip player_id='156008' first='Brielle' last='McIver'] can operate defensively as a catcher, but will also have games during which she plays at the hot corner that is third base. She can hit for both contact and power. McIver previously had a stint on the travel circuit with Homerun Bulldogs 12U. Two years ago, McIver—hitting sixth in the Homerun Bulldogs 12U order—delivered a pair of hits and three runs driven in, contributing to a 12-3, five-inning rout of 57 Dirt Dogs. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Lydia Gobeil","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"5'3u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"19","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Brewer","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"New England Elite O'Leary 12U","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-69714692527e9"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lydia Gobeil is another noteworthy name from the New England Elite organization. She can be in a team's defensive setup either at second base or third base, in addition to what she does with her right arm in the circle. One of the final games of New England Elite O'Leary 12U's schedule occurred in early August against Vermont Rockets Blue 12U. In that game, Gobeil scored two runs, drew two walks, and plated another run in a 16-0, four-inning rout of the team from the Green Mountain State. She has also tried her hand at other sports, such as when she played volleyball a few years ago. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Brynn Moody","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"29","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Wells Junior High","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Maine Thunder 12U Lavoie","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697146925288d"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Maine Thunder 12U Lavoie entered its summer travel schedule with 12 players. Brynn Moody was among that 12-person roster and she paid dividends for her travel team. Hitting leadoff, Moody was a key part of a 10-2 victory over New England Elite Starbird 12U in late July. She scored three of her team's 10 runs, delivered two hits, and drew a walk. At a May tournament in New Hampshire, Moody had four hits and posted a batting average of .667. Earlier that month at another New England–based invite, Moody had four hits and finished the event with a batting average of .800. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Ashleigh Eaton","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2030","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"19","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"Maine Thunder 12U McGouldrick","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_program":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-697146925292a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ashleigh Eaton also proudly sports the Maine Thunder uniform during her travel ball schedule. She plays on the 12U McGouldrick team and not only pitches, but also plays in the infield. During an invite in mid-May, Eaton tossed six innings from the circle. With the bat in her hands, she can display how patient she can be at the plate, such as when she drew three walks in a 15-6 victory over Maine Force 12U at the beginning of June. In mid-May, her team matched up against Colonials 12U and it resulted in a 12-6 victory for Maine Thunder 12U McGouldrick. Eaton scored two runs and plated two more in that game, as well as pitching three innings for her squad in the win.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
