<p class="text-gray-700">Adalina, or Addi, got off to a tremendous start two years ago, batting .400 for Thomas Jefferson High School through her first 12-game stretch. Since then, she hasn't looked back. Now, Addi is a cornerstone of Thomas Jefferson's program, leading them to the 5A PIAA softball championship last year (as a 10 seed). She flashes a slick glove in the infield and is able to play up the middle with an arm that's developed enough for third base.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Addi was even clocked with an overhand velocity of 72 mph at a recent camp. She gets on base at a high enough clip to project as a solid top-of-the-lineup bat that can also fly around the bases and manufacture runs for her team. Addi has also developed a powerful swing and is starting to drive the ball to the wall at a significant clip.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kara could be one of the top power hitters in Pennsylvania by the time her senior year is completed. Last year at Bloomsburg, she ranked 14th in her division with a .944 slugging percentage and belted four home runs, while also batting .481 on the season. She has a simple stance and an even more compact, straight-to-contact swing that helps her smack the ball to all three fields with ease. She gets in trouble pulling off the ball at times, and will need to develop more consistency over the next two seasons, but Kara is well on her way to taking her opponents by storm and being a diamond in the rough for college recruiters.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">In her first year of varsity ball, Alyssa helped her high school go undefeated and win the 6A state championship. How can you repeat the success of that freshman year? Well, Alyssa returned and helped her team win the state championship for a second straight year. With her fastball and a changeup that hovers around 40 mph, as well as a slew of other pitches she is developing, the North Penn righty has top-tier command. Coupled with arm speed that is getting faster by the game, Alyssa is well on her way to becoming a highly-touted arm out of Pennsylvania. She needs to grow her pitching arsenal to be considered a potential top-end starter in college, but Alyssa has been tested a great deal on the travel ball circuit throughout her high school career and has succeeded at a high level.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Out of everyone in the Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association—everyone in Division AAAAAA, everyone in WPIAL 3A 3—Kennadi had the best earned run average last year. This quick-twitch righthander from Keystone Oaks stands at just 5-foot-2, but explodes off the pitching rubber, and last year, everything came together for one of the most dominant season-long pitching performances in the country. The junior posted a 0.24 ERA with a 7-2 record, striking out 77 batters through 115 innings as Keystone Oaks' ace.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Kennadi is the big fish in Division AAAAAA's small pond, but her record-breaking season is going to draw some eyes from college coaches. With some growth over the next two seasons and continued dominance of her division, Kennadi could land some offers during her recruiting journey.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Breanne is a slapper who can also stay back and rope softballs into the gaps when the time is right. Her highlights are full of timely hitting performances and doing exactly what her team needs in order to be a difference-maker on the field and in the batter's box. Breanne finished off a strong 2024 summer season in which she batted .514 with an OPS of 1.256, including four doubles, three triples, two home runs, and nine RBI, while batting in the leadoff spot and playing second base. She's already being watched by Division 1 programs like LSU, Auburn, Maryland, and Duke, and will certainly continue to climb the prospect ranks with another strong spring season in 2025.</p>
