About Makayla

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

I’m a high-energy, team-first player who thrives in competitive situations. I bring consistency and smart decision-making to every game. Offensively, I’m aggressive on the bases and focus on making productive at-bats count. Defensively, I take pride in my communication, hustle, and ability to read the game. Whether I’m making a clutch play or backing up a teammate, I stay locked in and ready to go

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I’m someone who’s always trying to get better and stay focused. I take feedback well and try to bring a good attitude to everything I do. I care about my teammates and always try to lead by example, whether it's during practice or in a game.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I work at a local martial arts studio during their summer camp and was awarded "Leader of the Summer Award". At school I am a part of Student Leadership and Student Government.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

Being the captain of my summer ball team has helped me grow a lot as a leader. I’ve learned how to motivate others, communicate clearly, and keep the team focused and positive.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

I was injured during the current high school season and it was hard to sit out. Throughout the time I learned why being a supportive teammate is critical to a team's success.

What type of college are you looking for?

I would love to be in or near a city in a warm area. A strong sense of community is important to me, and I’d like to go somewhere that feels like I can build relationships.

Makayla Bess is the kind of infielder every coach wants on their roster—gritty, fast, and fearless. A right-handed thrower and left-handed hitter, Bess brings a dynamic edge to both sides of the game. Her speed is a constant threat on the basepaths, where she racks up stolen bases with ease and has instincts well beyond her years. Whether she’s laying down a bunt or stretching a single into a double, Makayla plays with relentless energy and isn’t afraid to get dirty to make a play. Her aggressive style on the field and versatility make her one of the most exciting prospects to watch in the 2027 class.
