It's on the down stretch of the season. I was wanting to know who stands out as a up and coming impact player for your team. Someone that's not a senior, junior(unless 1st yr.varsity) and definitely not your daughter( I would hope everyone would be able to mention their own kid so let someone else do it:)). A softball player that was flying under the radar and is now making way. I'll start it...... I don't get to see the Camels varsity as much, but there is 2 young players I think have a bright future....it's Becca Mitchell (catcher) and Jessica Walsh(3rd/pitcher)...both starters in 8th grade. Everytime I've watched them, they seem to get better. Walsh looks pretty good pitching and Mitchell being a field general at such a young age is impressive. They have got a lot of room to grow and it's looking up for Camels. I know there's more on the team than them, so I'll let someone else chime in from Campbell County.

I'm (Pendleton County) starting 2 Middle School players in my infield:

 

P Sam Verst (7th gr.)

SS Misty Clower (8th)

 

Both have the potential to be quite good. Half my Varsity team is 7-9th grade.

Never seen Sam pitch in a game, but seen her warming up to get ready to pitch. If not mistaken, I think her mom said it was her 1st yr. to pitch. Good to hear she's coming along.

If McKinlee Miller (8th grader) from Campbell Co can get her hitting figured out she can be an impact player. She is lightening fast and can cover a lot of ground in centerfield.

pitched some JV last year, but not a ton. Exceptional defensive player as well.

North Oldham HS Varsity - Region 8

Mikayla Benson - 8th - Starting Catcher

Cassidy Rives - 10th - Starting 3B

Anna Maiocco - 9th - Starting 1B (outstanding 2B also)

Ashton Dowdy - 8th - Starting SS

Madisyn Eads - 7th - #2 Pitcher

HHS has a very young outfield, but Brooke Dill, Kara Fornash, and Chloe Jansen all are making great strides in the outfield and HUGE impacts at the plate!

My daughter plays travel with Sam and her younger sister. Sam plays ss and is definitely one of the better 12U short stops I have seen.

NewCath frosh team has some nice talent, although none play any travel ball......

8th graders

 

Jenna Fryer

Katie Kelly (brothers were all stud footballers at NewCath & Zimmerman cousin)

Kacy & Kara Zimmerman (spitting image players like big sister Loren).

My daughter plays travel with Sam and her younger sister. Sam plays ss and is definitely one of the better 12U short stops I have seen.

 

Kid plays all out, all the time... That whole family is loaded with athletes!

For hhs, I would also add 8th grade varsity starters Rachel Gabbard and Morgan Coffey, as well as freshman starter Josie Daley

St. Henry also has up and comers with

7th grade Kaitlyn Becknell

9th grade Carlyle Townsend

9th grade Abbey Benson

9th grade Ashley Pollard

Sam Grause 7th NCC

Karys Black 6th Boone

Tegan Turpin 6th SK

Macy Krohman 6th SK

Kai Dickerson 7th Ryle

Delaney Kemper 7th Williamstown

 

Just to name a few

Star Smith- Boone Co. 7th

 

Kaylee McGinn - Dixie 8th

I've seen a lot of 12u and 14u softball and here are my future impact players-

 

Kaylee McGinn- 8th Grade Dixie High School- Kid has tremendous power and plays a very strong first base in summer ball and is now trying out the catchers spot for Dixie's JV. She is batting clean up in the varsity line-up. Great future for this young lady. Her best attribute is that she is a very nice young lady.

 

Maggie Fields- 8th grade Dixie High School- Can play any where, short, second, outfield and with plenty of speed to go around. If she gets a bunt down she's usually standing on first. Gifted athlete.

 

Star Smith- Boone County- 7th grade- Starts for Andy and has one of the best arms I've seen. Plays in field and outfield for Boone and plays short on a very good summer ball team.

 

Bailey Young- Owen County- 7th grader- Probably plays the game with the intelligence of a varsity player. Over all gifted athlete who plays every position except pitcher and could pitch as well if needed. This young lady knows how to play the game.

 

These are just a few off the top of my head. Many more I could list. Lots of good talent coming up.
