It was a great weekend with two full sessions at Victory Field in Encino, CA. This is always a very special weekend for us since it is the last chance for us to see west coast players prior to summer Jamborees. We had a very talented group over the course of the two days, and we are anxious to get these players in front of college coaches
Right out of the gate, we have to mention 2021 middle infielder Kate Blunt, an extremely talented player with roots in baseball. She plays on her high school varsity baseball team and plays softball in the summer. She is smooth as can be defensively, and a solid hitter with gap power. 2021 Jayna Zepeda had a very good day and is a smooth fielding SS who can really swing it. 2023 OF/MI Sophia Knight has a wonderful skill set and excellent athleticism, and 2023 MI Brielle Normandin is a solid defender with one of the quickest releases we have seen recently. Sohpia’s hitting mechanics are very solid. Her defensive play is mature beyond her years. Brielle is ready to play right now defensively, and her offensive game is coming fast. On Sunday, 2020 pitcher Devin Waddell was impressive. This lefty was a solid hitter, a nice defender, and an excellent talent in the circle. Joining her was 2021 Carly Koltko, a talented pitcher, 1B, and hitter. And finally 2023 Jaydyn Leon is a smooth defender and a solid hitting talent. Jaydyn has a chance to be highly recruited if she keeps working on her game.

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.
Email ODM at kj@odmtesting.com if you have any questions about the ODM Numbers.
