A UNLV commit, Taylor Tollestrup was one of the most prolific base stealers in the country last spring, swiping 74 bags in 43 games for her high school team. You don’t steal that many bases without getting on base a lot, and Tollestrup slashed .647/.707/1.022 with 80 runs scored, 18 doubles, six triples and seven home runs. She also walked 27 times with just 10 strikeouts and had a stolen base in every game, with at least two steals in all but four. Tollestrup complements her blazing speed with impressive power, using a quick, explosive swing to drive the ball over the fence to the pull side. In addition, she is a fine defender at shortstop, covering third on bunts, handling high hops with ease and ranging to her backhand side to snag line drives with funky spin.
