She ended the weekend with a .588 average, 10 singles, six runs, five RBI, and two stolen bases.

Kaylee Casey (2024, Kansas City, Mo.) is a long, lean, 5-foot-10 infielder with a solid pick-up glove at first base. In the box she is a dynamite hitter who racked up some numbers this weekend including a .533 average, eight hits with four singles, four doubles, four runs, and five RBI. This slugger presents a wider stance, with strength in her bottom half. She has a smooth cut through the zone and strong feel for the barrel, with power to the middle of the field.

Sydney Becker (2023, Kansas City, Mo.) is a force at the plate with a promising future at the collegiate level. Becker has a simple cut with explosive hands that drive the ball through full extension. She led the tournament this weekend with three home runs, and with 18 at-bats, had 11 RBI and five runs. She proved to have the ability to keep a calm composure in high-intensity situations when she blistered a walk-off home run to take them into the quarterfinals. Defensively, she is reliable in the hot spot. This third baseman has a fantastic backhand down the line, with quick reaction, and an arm to make throws across the field.

Uncommitted catcher Brooklyn Landers (2025, Urbandale, Iowa) for Iowa Blitz Gold 16U presents a quick cut through the zone with massive pull-side power.

Audrey Davis (2025, Lathrop, Mo.) had an amazing game at the plate against Arsenal Fastpitch 2006, rallying in some incredible numbers. She launched two home runs in a single game, going 3-for-3. Equally impressive, Davis went .500 for the weekend with seven hits, three singles, a double, a triple, and eight RBI. It’s clear that this hitter knows how to put the barrel on the ball. Great future for this slugger as she continues to gain experience in the game and physically mature.

Abby Sisk (2025, Holden, Mo.) had a standout game in the box, with five base hits, seven RBI, and two bombs over right-center fence. She has a short, compact, and direct path to contact, with plus feel for the barrel. Her highlight this weekend was smashing a grand slam over the fence with ease.

This elite top-of-the-lineup hitter understands her swing mechanics and is adept to moving the ball to the opposite side. She racked up nine singles this weekend and crossed the plate five times. Zeleke is a speedy, aggrieve runner that takes advantage of errors on the field and stretches extra bases.

Amyah Graybill (2025, Grain Valley, Mo.) tallied up some sparkling numbers this weekend with a .727 average including eight base hits, seven singles, one double, four RBI, and six runs. She has a quiet load and a simple cut that makes consistent contact, spraying the field.

-Brianna Brooks

Right-handed pitcher Addison Arbo (2026, Olathe, Kan.) of Building Champion-Aces had a short, quick windup and impressive movement in her pitches that had just the touch to fall into place at the last second. She hit corners accurately and uses her pitches to control the opponent at the plate. Against her strongest opponent over the weekend, she allowed zero runs, hits and walks. Often her rise ball would result in a pop up, her drop ball would end in a swing-and-miss, and her changeup was a tick slower to catch her opponents off guard with a looking strike.

Camdyn Sybert (2026, Smithville, Mo.) of Epic Fastpitch showed great potential behind the plate, controlling the game with her framing ability and quick feet. She used constant communication with her team each play, yelling out how many outs there were and where to play the ball. Her athletic build and quick feet helped her to jump into place of the ball, whether it be to block or for a close play at home that needed to result in an out. There is potential at the next level for this catcher.

Top-of-the-lineup hitter Samantha Dorsch (2026, Lees Summit, Mo.) hits the gaps and with aggressive baserunning, stretches for extra-base hits. She used her speed in the field to track the ball to snag some fly balls in the outfield.

Hannah Winburn (2026, Lees Summit, Mo.) of KC Bombers 14U was a swift-footed left-handed batter that consistently made contact with the ball. When slapping she had the ability to have a soft touch on the ball so she was able to get on base before the infield could even field the ball. In her best game she had four stolen bases. She also made herself known at the mound as a left-handed pitcher with a long windup that whipped the ball across the plate, hitting her spots each time. Bright future for the speedy player.
