Arabella was a top performer as she is someone who can do a lot for her team, and at the showcase she really demonstrated the ability to be great at a lot of things in multiple spots. For starters, her ability to stay available in transition and attack out of system made her jump out in my eyes. Someone who can take high level swings when out of system is a tough skill to teach and she seemed to do that well. She also does well with in system swings and can put some real pace behind the ball when she hits and has a nice off speed to her game as well with those tips and roll shots as well.

She also brings a physical presence at the net and does a good job competing for blocks and challenging hitters. She isn’t afraid to go up and take away space from any hitter and really does well in taking away angles when she is on one one with some hitters. Her footwork is great and allows her to be explosive to get up on the block as well. Bella plays with good energy, competes at the net, and has the athletic ability to create matchup problems in a variety of spots and really showed all the aspects at our showcase and was an easy pick as a top performer.

Arabella is a right side/middle blocker who is a young prospect with impressive long-term upside because of her versatility at the net and developing physical tools. She impacts the match with her blocking presence, moves well laterally, and shows flashes of becoming a strong offensive option both in transition and along the right pin. Her timing, competitiveness, and ability to contribute in multiple front-row roles make her especially intriguing at this stage of development. As she continues to gain strength and experience, she has the potential to become a future ranked player within her class.
