Another Magic Gold product, this time from Indiana, is Aubrie Szymanski, a smooth operator at shortstop. She has a great advantage at the 14U level because her lateral agility is leagues ahead of her opponents’. She’s essentially forcing opposing offenses to hit around her rather than through her. Szymanski has had extensive reps at shortstop, catcher, third base, and in the outfield across her young career, earning her a well-deserved utility designation. By dedicating time to several positions, she’s elevated her defensive IQ and awareness, which has already proven to be a standout during high-pressure moments. While maintaining her dominance on defense, Szymanski has had elite spring and summer seasons, posting a .440 batting average while swinging from the left side.

Aubrie Szymanski is a versatile 2031 athlete whose ability to contribute at multiple positions gives coaches plenty to like. A left-handed hitter who throws right-handed, Szymanski primarily plays middle infield but has the athleticism and softball IQ to step behind the plate or move into the outfield when her team needs her. That defensive flexibility is a valuable part of her game and allows her to impact a lineup in several different ways. Szymanski showed she can produce against strong competition at the PGF Super Select 13U Championship, batting .333 with four hits, five RBIs, and six runs scored. Her ability to both drive in runs and to find ways to cross the plate herself reflects the offensive presence she can bring to a team. Szymanski is already attending college camps and continues to put significant work into developing her skills.
