All players in the top 50. Not too shabby!
11 Tianna Bell, 3B/SS, Lady Magic Munoz (Cal-Berkeley)
Tianna walks into the batter's box with commanding presence and brings to the plate a violent swing that can smash balls with scary power. She is, according to Coach Lindsey Munoz, "the hitter that every pitcher is scared to throw to." Tianna is the Lady Magic's anchor in the 4-spot and has the numbers to show she is so feared: a .412 batting average this Summer with 10 home runs, eight doubles and 39 RBIs in 136 at-bats. Her home runs can be jaw-dropping with some clearing the outfield fence by 20-plus feet. Defensively, Tianna's cat-quick reactions at third base make her a hard target to hit through. "We think she can be a big impact player with Chelsea Spencer and the Cal Bears," says Coach Munoz.
21 D'Auna Johnson, SS/UT, Lady Magic Munoz (Cal-Berkeley)
D'Auna was added to the Lady Magic roster this fall and Coach Lindsey Munoz says, "She has certainly made an offensive impact!" The senior got off to a strong start with her new ballclub by hitting .500 in her first 30-at bats with six home runs. That piggy-backed off a successful Summer and a high school Spring campaign with Sacramento powerhouse, Sheldon High. With the Huskies, D'Auna batted .525 with nine home runs and 39 RBIs. Adds Coach Munoz: "We are very excited to have D'Auna with us for her Senior season and think that she will help elevate our offensive power numbers to national bests."
31 Elon Butler, SS, Corona Angels Tyson (Cal-Berkeley)
Elon is the starting third baseman for Marty Tyson's powerful Angels 18U team and bats in the 5-hole against top teams in the club space. She's "athletic with pure power our our team which took third in the country," Coach Tyson explained. Elon has been one of the top prospects in her class going back to her pre-high school days. She comes from an athletic family as her mother played college basketball and three others in her family competed in college football. Elon hits for power to all fields and in the dirt has a quick first step and good lateral movement. For her Archbishop Mitty (San Jose, California) High team this year she went 32-for-64 to bat .500 and had eight home runs, seven doubles and knocked in 24 runs in 21 games. Elon had a .558 on-base percentage, a 1.046 slugging mark and a 1.605 OPS. The standout athlete had heavy interest from SEC, Big Ten and other Pac-12 programs before she committed to the Bears before the Early Recruiting Rules took place.
49 Ashanti McDade, P, Oklahoma Angels Yeatts (Cal-Berkeley)
Ashanti is one of the top power pitchers in the senior class with the ability to throw in the upper 60's and has hit 70 mph on several occasions. The right-hander had an outstanding performance at PGF in 2019 leading her team to a Top 5 finish. She has game-changing power at the plate as well including a 290-foot blast this fall during the high school season in which she hit .509 with nine home runs and 25 RBI's in 15 games. In the circle she had 120 strikeouts in 60 innings with an 11-1 record. At the 2021 Colorado Sparkler Power Pool she went 2-0 striking out 21 in 14 innings. At the 2021 PGF National Championships, Ashanti pitched 18 innings while allowing just one earned run and striking out 18.
