About Sinalei
Expert Analysis
Benjamin Rosenberg | Prep Softball Scout
Another Southern California product, out of San Diego, Sinalei Talataina saw her numbers take a slight dip as a senior, but she is still more than ready for the next level and will play at Arizona. In four years at the varsity level, Talataina hit .407 with a 1.133 OPS, 37 doubles, 12 home runs, 118 RBI and nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts. She has good pitch recognition and bat control skills, and her 5-foot, 9-inch frame allows her to extend her arms and pull pitches off the outside corner over the wall. Talataina hits well against both righties and lefties and is most comfortable at third base, though she can also play first base.

Talataina is solid both defensively and offensively, with the ability to play either corner infield position at an elite level. She’s battle-tested out of California, as she’s faced and done well against some of the top pitchers in her recruiting class. The Wildcats hit the jackpot when they landed Talataina, who was heavily recruited and has a chance to make an impact right away at the next level.
