Jayelyn Luft Jayelyn Luft LHP Hempfield | 2029 PA , a 2029 left-handed pitcher out of Hempfield High School, throws gas. Hempfield, a known powerhouse in the WPIAL, will be lucky to be able to add her to its staff this coming spring. Her ability to spin the ball and throw this hard as a freshman is quite impressive and will be no match for the competition she will face this high school season. Aside from her pitching talent, she is a true lefty slapper with a lot of speed. She has the ability and quickness to beat out a soft slap to the shortstop, making her very hard to defend against. Be on the lookout for Hempfield and Jayelyn to dominate the field this spring.
