2028 Hitters To Keep An Eye On, Part 3

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>The Class of 2028 is loaded with hitting talent that looks like it could make a run at reaching the next level by the time they graduate.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Here's a look at some of the outsides that haven't gotten as much pub, but you should keep an eye on.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='581597' first='Rylan' last='Morris'], OH/RS Frankenmuth/Five:1</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Frankenmuth has produced some explosive outsides over recent years and Morris looks to be another. She plays very long and showed improvement on her aggressiveness throughout the end of 2025. As she's growing in confidence, it is taking her game to new levels.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='697452' first='Maylie' last='Mullins'], OH/DS Ottawa Lake Whiteford/Michigan Elite</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Mullins tracks the ball really well and there's another gear she's able to take her swing to when she's got a clean look. Her power shows a lot of promise, as she's going to be able to overwhelm opponents as she keeps adding to her game. Mullins also puts in the work to improve on her defensive ability, working to be a complete player.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='846725' first='Clover' last='Nash'], MB Lake Orion/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Nash works hard on the floor and stays very active at the net. She's able to make some key plays just through her effort and ability to compete. Nash uses her length well to be an impactful blocker, while learning how to be more of a consistent finisher.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='881556' first='Stella' last='Polavin'], OH/RS FH Northern/MVA</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Polavin's court IQ is very high for a sophomore and she really sees the floor well. She can make some great adjustments mid-swing and knows where the ball needs to go to score. Already with the craftiness, her play will only get more dominant as her speed and strength continue to build.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='644282' first='Jocelyn' last='Ringnalda'], RS South Christian/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Ringnalda is able to get a lot of power off her swing without needing a lot of room or time to make an attack. She tries to make aggressive attack angles, which is good to see. She's got the power to do it. There's still room for her to grow in her timing, and her swing should get even stronger as that improves.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='916038' first='Braelin' last='Rodammer'], OH Valley Lutheran</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Rodammer was does a good job of getting clean attacks and spreading the ball around the floor to remain unpredictable. She is able to avoid attack errors and has good potential defensively as well. She was a big key to Valley Lutheran's success this fall and should be a dominant player in D3 moving forward.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='578487' first='Aubrielle' last='Shina'], MB Rochester/High Performance</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Shina stands 6'2” and is able to be very disruptive with her length and timing. She's come through with some timely kills for her teams and shows a desire to get better with each rep. Shina is someone that can really climb up rankings as she gets more polished in her play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939686' first='Zoe' last='Taylor'], MB Okemos/FaR Out</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Taylor is one to definitely keep an eye on. She's got a lot of explosiveness in the middle and isn't afraid to use it. When the ball comes through her way, she does a great job of powering through it and making it nearly impossible for defenders to dig up the ball. Big things are ahead for Taylor.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:heading --> <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>[player_tooltip player_id='939675' first='Audrey' last='Tobin'], MB Lakeland/Legacy</strong></h2> <!-- /wp:heading --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Tobin is a 6-foot middle that has a lot of spring off the floor. She can get well above the net, which makes her tough to block. Tobin hasn't had to use a lot of power to finish points, so as she is able to add that aspect in more consistently, she should be able to get on some dominant stretches of play.</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph -->
