Pin Hitters Who Took Over – PNQ 2025

<!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">Six-rotation killers, serve receive anchors, high-volume scorers — these outsides and opposites did it all.

She tracks the ball with elite-level anticipation, has an athletic jump. Jingruonan has bounce — and she knows how to use it. Her jumps are explosive, and her swing is precise and calculated. She's the kind of hitter who either splits the block or barrels through it. What I loved most was her defensive hustle and smart court navigation. She makes volleyball look easy, and that's the mark of a high-level outside. Her ability to read the court and recover after errors shows she's coachable and ready to level up fast. She plays clean, jumps high, and brings a lethal attack from all zones. A top-tier talent in the making. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":763760,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Chloe Crider","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32564","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Eaton HS","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Rocky Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e62440c7344"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Chloe's defensive reads were some of the sharpest of the weekend. She moved as one with her libero, covered tips and hard-driven balls with ease, and brought serious heat in the front row. Her serve is lethal, her swing is strong and technical, and her court IQ is top-tier. She's definitely one to keep your eye on. She sees the court and takes over when it counts. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["472132"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e62440c73b1"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Jianna is a consistent serve receive machine, laying down three-passes like it's routine. Defensively, she's vocal and always in position, and offensively, she mixes up her shots with purpose. Her communication stood out, keeping her team synced during tough plays. She may fly under the radar at first — but she won't stay there long. She locked down serve receive and dug up everything — a defense-first outside who brings smart swings, too. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":763756,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Macy Liberator","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32564","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"[program_tooltip program_id='580830' first='Synergy' last='Force'] G","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e62440c7433"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Macy is the definition of an all-around outside. She brought steady, calm control to every point — from front-row kills to back-row digs. Her float serve consistently caused chaos, and she was always ready for the next play before it even started. She's dependable, coachable, and ready to grind — Macy has the demeanor of a player that has a habit of winning games and keeping her team stable. Macy is reliable under pressure, strong in both rows, and cool-headed. The kind of outside you build trust in. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>These outsides checked every box: control, confidence, and clutch performances.

Her court vision is elite — she doesn't just swing hard, she swings smart. Whether finding deep corners or tooling the block, she scores with purpose. Her block is solid, and she's always quick to lift up her teammates. Big smile, big voice, and a bigger impact on the game than you'd expect from most right sides. A joy to watch compete. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":763772,"_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Addison Corder","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"null","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"32925","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"WIndsor Charter Academy","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"Rocky Elite","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-67e62440c7559"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Addison is everywhere. Transitioning quick from block to attack, she brings a heavy arm and relentless effort. She hustles like a DS, blocks like a middle, and attacks like a top-tier pin. Her energy is contagious — always engaged, always hyping her team. She's versatile, scrappy, and reliable. A right side that coaches trust. <strong><em>~ Samantha Fitzgerald @</em>BenchtBeast</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:heading {"level":3} --> <h3 class="wp-block-heading">If you enjoyed this article, show your support by following&nbsp;<strong><a href="https://www.instagram.com/prepdigca/?hl=en">PrepDigCA</a></strong>&nbsp;and<strong>&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/coachable247/?hl=en">BenchtoBeast</a></strong> for exclusive content, behind-the-scenes action, and a closer look at the volleyball community you love.</h3> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>We're on a mission to spotlight talent, uplift families, and bring the volleyball community closer than ever!
