Heavy arm. Strong range. Different tempos and different angles. Those are the specific words Prep Dig lead scout Michelle Bamford used after watching Ava Van Peteghem Ava Van Peteghem 5'11" | OH/RS Carondelet | 2027 State CA earn Top Performer recognition at the Northern California Exposure Tour and they are worth reading carefully because they describe exactly what separates a hitter who is productive from one who is difficult to defend. After watching her highlight film, I see that she has the unique ability to score in a variety of situations rather than relying on one preferred shot is what kept defenders uncomfortable throughout her play what will keep them uncomfortable at the next level as well. I love how she challenges the block with intentional swings rather than swinging into whatever coverage is there and her defensive engagement along the net shows a player who understands both sides of the ball. At 5’11” with the versatility to contribute at both left and right side pin positions and with that, the positional flexibility she offers makes her recruiting profile stronger than a single number or credential can capture. This young lady’s movement in our State Ranking List. Please help us congratulate her on earning this well deserved recognition.
