Addy Ortegren Addy Ortegren 5'9" | OH Hinton | 2029 State IA is an extremely accomplished sophomore who plays a big role on both her club and high school teams. I think one major reason that Ortegren is so high up in these rankings is her serve-receive abilities. She reads her servers well and is very consistent and clean with her first touches. And of course, you pair that with her amazing range in the front row and ability to find the lines from anywhere on the court. With there being so many amazing outsides in this class, it is really hard to make it into the rankings however this one is well deserved.

Meet one of our major trendsetters for the Stock Up Showcase’s 2029s. Ortegren brought power beyond her years at Sunday’s event and proved she could connect with any setter on her side of the net. Her influence didn’t wane in the back row, either. Hinton High wielded a barrage of Ortegren’s tough serves last fall, and she brought it back for our summer outing.

Addy Ortegren plays with tempo and edge. She times her approach well off the setter’s release and is comfortable running a faster outside ball. Her arm speed allows her to challenge the block, and she shows the ability to tool outside hands when the seam closes. Defensively, she competes hard and pursues tips, immediately resetting to be available in transition.  ~Theresa @prepdigdakotas

Day One Expectation: Look for Addy to stretch defenses with pace and be aggressive early, especially if she gets clean in-system touches.
