We always enjoy an early spring tryout in Phoenix. It was great to be back at Crossroads Park in Gilbert for another event. We have to start off by thanking Ryanne and Ronnie Holtorf for throwing BP and front toss, and hitting fungo. They are really great people and excellent at what they do. It really makes the tryout go smoothly. And it is always good to see them.
This was a really great group of players. The infield defense with the pitcher & catcher group was really solid. We can tell that they put in a lot of work developing their skill set and becoming well rounded players. The position player group was good defensively as well. As a group the hitters were good. They showed some power, but also a lot of consistency driving the balls into the gaps. One player we have to highlight here is 2022 C/SS Riley Valentine. A very good hitter, athletic catcher with a big arm, who will be on the top of everyone’s list this summer. Other players we have to mention are, 2022 P Emmalyn Brinka, 2023 SS Madison Rai Mendoza. Along with a group of 2026 players that were really good SS Peyton Valentine, 2B Sienna Caro, and C Torynn Slaughter. There are two other players who have put in a lot of work since we last saw them and have really improved their game. 2023 3B Janai Mathis and 2024 P Eliza Legge.

Please remember that the ODM numbers, while growing increasingly important, are only a snapshot of a player’s evaluation and potential. They are also just a portion of the Tryout selection process, for more information read Your Tryout & ODM Numbers. Use these numbers as a tool and work at developing your athleticism, but constantly work on improving and refining your softball skill set – both offensively and defensively.
These numbers have also been posted to your profile. An Allister Index is not given with Tryout ODM numbers.
