Softball Summer Sizzlers

A the summer heats up, so is the softball around the country. With the warm weather we are seeing players heat up as well. Let's look at some softball players from around the country that are heating up.

Kayla Fletcher (2026, MIF / OF, Central Dauphin High School, Pennsylvania)

Fletcher is a player to keep an eye on for sure! The lefty showed some pop off her bat at the TC Nationals with a hard hit triple. Fletcher has speed on the base paths and a rocket of an arm from the outfield.

Katelyn Bailey (2024, 3B / Utility, Mercy High School, Connecticut)

Bailey continues to impress on the diamond. She's shown some brilliance defensively. Bailey has good hands, control over the ball and incredible anticipation. She can attack the ball with speed and get it out of the glove quickly.

Emmy Raines (2026, RHP / 1B / 3B, Desert Mountain High School, Arizona)

Raines showed off an impressive bat at the National Power Pool, helping her team to a 3rd place finish. She showed the ability to pull the ball as well as hit opposite field. She did both of these with power, spraying the ball all over the outfield.

Mikayla Mendoza (2024, 2B / SS / OF, Redlands High School, California)

Mendoza is a talented righty that's playing some really good ball right now. She hits the ball on a straight line, limiting the opportunities for easy catches in the outfield. Mendoza runs the bases hard, with speed and intelligence.

Dani Lee (2025, RHP / Utility, McLouth High School, Kansas)

Lee made a statement with her play at the TC Nationals. The notorious homerun hitter was at it again, knocking one out of the park. That was just the start. Lee also got on the mound and was very effective, really limiting solid contact off her pitches. She's a well rounded all around player that can really contribute in a lot of ways.

Natalye DeBus (2025, 3B / 1B / P, Canyon Hills High School, California)

DeBus sizzled on the mound recently to say the least. She showed incredible variety and accuracy in her pitches. DeBus moved the ball, put action on it and varied speeds. This frustrated hitters the entire time she was on the mound. DeBus just seemed to be in control throughout.
