Piper Malone emerged as one of the most dangerous offensive threats in the 2031 class this summer, consistently producing against quality competition while showcasing legitimate game-changing power. Competing in some of the nation’s toughest tournaments, she punctuated her season by launching her third home run at Scenic City, further cementing her reputation as a hitter who is capable of changing the momentum of a game with one swing. Malone finished the season with a .536 batting average, .596 on-base percentage, and 1.417 OPS, proving she is far more than just a power hitter. She consistently barrels up the softball, reaches base at a high rate, and produces in key situations. She also contributed in the circle, logging 32.2 innings with 39 strikeouts while giving her team valuable pitching depth.
