Tinley Goodson has put together an outstanding summer, showcasing both her offensive production and defensive versatility against top competition. At the P5 Patriot Games, she was a force at the plate, going 8-for-14 with five singles, one double, and two home runs while driving in 11 runs. Her ability to consistently produce quality at bats and deliver in run-producing situations made her one of the event’s top performers. Earlier at Scenic City Top 25, Goodson demonstrated her value on both sides of the ball by playing second base, shortstop, and third base without committing an error for a perfect fielding percentage. She also hit a three-run home run, finished with four RBIs, and did not strike out once, highlighting her combination of power, contact skills, and defensive reliability that continues to elevate her stock in the 2028 class.
