<p>Throughout the day, several hitters showed consistency at contact and confidence in key rotations. The separation wasn't just about power — it was about high contact points, disciplined approaches, and the ability to terminate when sets tightened. These athletes competed with composure, maintained offensive rhythm, and continued to swing with intent even in extended rallies.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>What stood out most was their willingness to stay aggressive without forcing low-percentage swings. They elevated above the tape, managed the block well, and handled pressure moments with maturity beyond their age group.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->
<!-- wp:paragraph -->
<p>Here's a closer look at the 15u hitters who delivered steady, impactful performances on Day One in Clive.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Leilanie Foster-Saye separated herself through controlled physicality on Day One. Her approach mechanics were efficient and repeatable — strong last-two steps, balanced takeoff, and consistent high contact above the block. She attacked deep cross and worked high hands effectively instead of forcing tight seam swings.</p>
<!-- /wp:paragraph -->

<p>Her poise in pressure rotations stood out. Foster-Saye stayed aggressive without becoming erratic and communicated well in serve receive before transitioning quickly into offense. <strong>~Theresa @prepdigdakotas</strong></p>
