A 4 star pitcher who just led her team to a PGF title? Shoot, i'll take it.

"Boccanfuso has made a name for herself in the Athletic Mercado organization, helping them to the PGF National Championships. She carried a heavy load this summer in California during the 16U Premier title run.

The pitcher from Palos Verdes High School overcomes her shorter stature with her very good dropball. She competes and rises in the tough moments. Boccanfuso has the ability to change planes with her movement. Her pitches are deceptive and have the ability to hit spots in any count."

Coach Singleton has a hell of a recruiting angle for that 2027 class: "I just won a national championship, we've got a brand-new state of the art stadium coming, the best weather, and the best degree in the country."

I am very optimistic about this commit. While she does not appear to blow everyone away with speed, she appears more of a spin and location type of pitcher. Her speed will come with maturity. I'd take location and movement over speed any day of the week. She appears to be very "strudy" as well, meanig she can go the distance.

+1. Great changeup, looks like she throws some type of a drop/curve that appears to be extremely effective. Reminds me of Val's.

Great pickup.

Sorry, Tom. You need some better sources! Cal beats out ASU for the 4 star recruit =)

Bautista also had offers from Washington, Utah, Oregon and Texas A&M.

Her fellow HS and club teammate Aina commited the same day as her to Washington.

When reviewing videos of Hinano she's got a powerful and frankly beautiful left handed swing. She led the state of Hawaii in homeruns last year. I'll take it!

These Hawaiians are ballers. Every single teams I umped for can hit and play defense. Pretty awesome. They fly out here for weekend tournaments-pretty crazy.

I just came back from doing a scrimmage for La Serna V. Pacifica high school. There's a girl on La Serna pitcher named Candace Puig. This girl was injured for a year and as a result only has three offers. This girl need to be looked at.

Bullpen wise we have

Mya McGowan (Fr)
Taylor Peacock So.
Kiki Mashhoud So.
Layna Gerhard So.
Tamya Waiters Jr.

Commits:
2026 Alanna Clincy
2027 Danielle Boccanfuso

I wonder what Coach Singleton's strategy is for a pitching staff. I imagine McGowan is going to get a lot of innings this season.

& to be fair... I have no idea if Bautista will pitch too. It looks like she's recruited to be a position player (OF?) but I don't know that for certain.

She plays on my friends team. She is equally a HR hitter as she is a pitcher he says.

She pitches mid to high 60's right now as a senior.

Tammy Lohmann asked me to send her some pitchers her way. I am going to gatekeep this info in hopes Cal looks at her.

Love that lefty swing. I see many a long ball leaving the (brand new) stadium in Berkeley.

Lindsay was a former catcher so she should know about quality pitching. Sounds like a good get for 2027 from Del Oro HS.

It appears Finn was a First Team All State selection this year. With the commit, Cal has a first team all state selection from 2025 (McGowan),2026 (Clincy) and now 2027. We're the only program that can say that.

Mikayla Finn (Del Oro, Loomis) Jr.
Her emergence as one of the top pitchers in Northern California was one of the main reasons why Del Oro had such a great season. Mikayla had complete games in all of the Golden Eagles' CIF NorCal D1 playoff wins against Willow Glen, St. Francis of Mountain View and league rival Oak Ridge. She finished 21-1 with a 1.13 ERA and she had 210 strikeouts in 148 1/3 innings. Finn had a season-high 15 strikeouts in a win vs Sheldon of Sacramento and had a two-hitter with eight strikeouts in a league win vs Whitney of Rocklin. She's already been named Large School Co-Player of the Year by the Sacramento Bee with teammate Abby Davidson.

Awesome news. Lady Magic organization is right up there in reputation as Corona Angels, Batbusters and Athletics Mercado. This is a solid solid commit. I expect more news to come our way.

I'm bummed we couldn't snag Calvo (who commited to Florida) from LM....but that might've been out of the question with the turn over at Cal. She put up video game numbers for Vanden this year.

Coach Singleton uses his Texas connections to land a 2027 slapper from the lone star state.



Looks like she just visited a top 10-15 program in Duke, so a nice recruiting win.

We're now listed as the 16th best class in the nation, including missing one of our commits who was first team-all state.

The recruits are clearly buying what Coach Singleton is selling.

2027 outfield recruit sounds like a good student-athlete.
