It takes a lot of maturity to be a starting catcher in high school as an eighth grader, even at the junior varsity level. But that’s the role Elliana Maldonado Elliana Maldonado C/3B Gainesville | 2029 VA filled last spring, at least until she missed more than a month with a broken finger. She went 4-for-4 in her first game after returning from the injury, nearly matching a 5-for-5 performance in her first high school game. Maldonado is not afraid to attack early in the count and handles inside pitches well, pulling her hands in and muscling the ball through the infield. She can also fight off balls on the outer half and slice them to the opposite field, and has a strong, accurate arm from behind the plate.
