1st Alliance is a good club. I got to see two of their top 17 teams up close this past week, and that’s not even including their TOP team which is in open. Leah falls into the upper end of my “tweener” category of hitters, which means they may have the height, but vertical is lacking a bit, or vice versa, it just means that they have less margin for error and plays need to be perfect timing wise. She was getting up and putting balls down with authority when I saw her play this week, no issues from me calling her a legit threat. Some girls go more technique than brute force, others just hit the ball so hard there’s not much you can do against it, she was leaning towards the latter when I watched her, but don’t take that as a negative, she was a force when she hit the ball. She’s committed to Illinois State, and that seems like a match for me after watching her. She should be a lesson to hundreds of girls out there that need to put the work in to fine tune their game, or overcome another part of their game, she’s clearly worked hard to get where she is, and now she’s showing what that hard work gets you, an OH you should be afraid of.
