In just nine at-bats, she has walked twice with three RBIs and two hits, with one of those hits being her first career high school home run. With a .364 OBP, she is seeing the ball well in this young season. Be on the lookout for Autumn the rest of this spring and into the summer season, as this is only just the start of what is sure to be a successful career ahead.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["155604"],"_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":158235,"_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-69bc1af4636a8"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Audrie McClerkin, a freshman out of North Las Vegas, has had a killer season so far. In 33 at-bats, she has recorded 18 hits and 12 RBIs. On March 13 against Altamont, she was selected as the player of the game, during which she smashed a game-ending home run to win it for her team. With a lot of speed, we can expect to see Audrie hit from both sides of the plate this spring, which takes immense talent and is almost unheard of. Be on the watch for this speedy stud the rest of this spring and into the summer.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["104453"],"_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":158237,"_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-69bc1af463702"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Alexis May put up some pretty impressive numbers as a freshman for Alexander, ending the season with a .356 batting average, including 26 hits and 27 RBIs. Not only that, but she also boasted a .489 on-base percentage, which is also an important part of the game offensively.
