Bautista has the look of a libero who will continue to rise in the rankings as she moves into her junior season at North Creek. She has a disciplined approach to giving her setters clean free balls at just the right tempo, an undervalued skill for defenders. The rest of her game is high quality; she uses angles effectively and sets her feet to give herself the best possible chance to dig up a swing with high heat.

Bautista is a player we will be keeping an eye on during the fall and into the club season; the libero from North Creek has the range and passing ability to make another jump in the rankings. She was rock solid in serve receive for FEVA, moving her feet and staying in a solid position even when she has to move quickly on a hard-driven serve. Bautista can plant her foot and go hard to get a tip or shot, and doesn’t waste movement when she has to dig up a rocket that is outside her frame.
