Last season, we saw NiJaree Canady, Taryn Kern, Karlyn Pickens, Kailey Wyckoff, Sarah Gordon, Alexis Pupillo, and many others jump straight into stardom.

Who will that be this season? In Westwood, Kaitlyn Terry appears ready to lead the pitching staff. Florida’s freshmen duo of Ava Brown and Keagan Rothrock will try to lead the Gators to the top of the nation. While Tennessee sees Bella Faw as its starting shortstop from day one.
