Outside Hitters You Should Know in the 2028 Rankings

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The 2028 Rankings are out, and I wanted to highlight some of the players you should know who play on the left pin. Keep an eye out for these six players as they have the potential to increase their ranking dramatically over the next few seasons.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["630748"],"_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-68372ea1b876a"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">The Jackson High School and [program_tooltip program_id='428797' first='Pursuit' last=''] VBC outside/setter is one to keep an eye on for the next few years. The 5'10” pin has a great skill set that allows her to be a six-rotation outside, or Avery can help run the offense, which she did with [program_tooltip program_id='428797' first='Pursuit' last='']. Avery is a solid defender who can terminate anywhere on the court. She is also a fantastic setter with a very high volleyball IQ—a gamer with a competitive fire that will get her to the next level.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["624662"],"_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-68372ea1b87c2"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Ries took the court for the Bombers and made an immediate impact, finishing with 280 kills, good for second on the team. At 5'7”, Ries might be undersized, but with the huge vertical and power she possesses, she is turning into a dynamite outside. With her play at HPSTL 15 Royal,  Ries will transition into a six-rotation pin for Burroughs this fall.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["729601"],"_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-68372ea1b880c"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Hannibal has some talent coming up from the 2028 class, and Lyla is one of the top attackers for the Pirates. The Club Four left pin finished her first season playing in every set as a freshman, finishing second in kills with 229. Lyla can thread the needle on the left side and hits a great line shot. Club Four has prepared Lyla to be a better all-around player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["708619"],"_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-68372ea1b8853"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Mia is another player in the rankings who can play several positions and helps her team in multiple ways. For her high school team, Mia was a top outside hitter using her power and smarts to finish as one of the top attackers. Mia's versatility allows her to terminate on either pin, and at 5'10", she can play middle and has the hands to set if needed—a tough player with tremendous potential.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["545000"],"_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-68372ea1b8898"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">A heavy ball hitter on the left pin and an outstanding defensive player with a mean flat float serve. Hazel plays for Rockwood 15 Navy and hails from Class 5 powerhouse Lafayette. A powerful swing, great platform when passing, moves remarkably well in the backcourt, and could play a variety of roles. She has the competitive fire you want in a six-rotation pin hitter. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["729535"],"_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-68372ea1b88dd"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Lucy was tough this club season with [program_tooltip program_id='490801' first='Missouri' last='Juniors'] 573 15 National as a six-rotation outside hitter. Lucy is a big bouncer who plays well above the net. A big approach allows her to get full height on her jump, and a quick swing will enable her to beat the block. Led her Father Tolton team in kills as a freshman with 190 and was second in digs with 278.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
