FPN 16U Super 60 Rankings: No. 16 through No. 20 Breakdown

NO. 16 / GAMETIME STARS GOLD – WALDE

“They say with age comes wisdom and even during the teen years that is obvious as our ladies mature,” said Steve Max, of the Gametime Stars Media Relations and Recruiting Team. Walde’s team was on fire in 2018 outscoring opponents 519-209, boasting an on-base percentage of .449%, and slugged .528% all without the help of the long ball. The Stars played consistently throughout the summer and continued to improve all capped by a 5th place finish at USA Elite Select. For 2018-2019 Walde will welcome back Kenedi Morelock, a well-rounded athlete who will add depth in the outfield, power at the plate, and speed on the base paths. Outside of Morelock, the Stars will return its roster in full and with another year of experience under its belt will be a daunting opponent. Look for Walde to be stronger, faster, hitting harder, and more focused.

Key Players:

  • Hannah Harrison (2020, LHP) Pittsburgh State
  • Kristen Whitehouse (2020, SS) UMKC
  • Morgan Max (2021, LHP) UT Arlington
  • Aaliyah Brown (2020, 3B) UT Arlington
  • Maddie Southerland (2020, RHP/UT) Uncommitted
  • Whitney Walde (2020, C/SS/UTL) Uncommitted

“This is the year for success, I believe all coaches say the same thing but this time I believe it is different.  Gametime Walde has reloaded and is ready to play ball like never before … The talent pool is endless with our ladies and any coach looking for 2020 or 2021 players, should look no further than Gametime Walde.”


NO. 17 / ST.LOUIS CHAOS – SLOVER

The Chaos was a potent program recording top tier finishes in almost all events it competed in including 2nd place at JO Cup and 13th in USA Elite Select. Comprised of a roster of highly recruited student-athletes the Chaos looked and performed like a veteran team. Coming from a program with a tradition of success and a pipeline of talented student-athletes, look for continued success for the Chaos for the foreseeable future.

NO. 18 / IMPACT GOLD NATIONAL JAZZ

The Impact program has emerged as one of the top programs in the country producing highly recruited student-athletes across all levels and becoming a staple in the club ball scene with no sign of slowing down. The Impact Gold Jazz roster is “scary good” and loaded from top to bottom. Notable performances include a runner-up finish at USA Elite Select tournament and collecting four wins in the PGF Premier Bracket. Impact will remain in the 16U division and should only have a stronger 2018-2019 campaign with another year of experience under its belt.

This will be an exciting team to keep and eye on and watch develop over the coming year and beyond.

NO. 20 / PANTHERS FAST PITCH – STEVENS

“They may be small but they be mighty”! Hailing from Florida, the Panthers represent a very small organization made up of only two teams but it holds its own in the very tough state of Florida. Nine members on the Stevens roster have been with him for 4+ years and Stevens himself has over 60 years of fast pitch experience. Every member of its roster is either committed or has offers they are considering. The Panthers played 2018 down a key member of its pitching staff and offense, Viv Ponn (2019, UCF) but rallied around each other to put together a strong season highlighted by a 3rd place finish at the JO Cup. “It was a great celebration in St Louis as USA Softball staff, Power 5, mid major coaches and more from all our around nation were calling and texting our small program to give congrats for such an accomplished feat” said Stevens.

This fall Steven’s team will be playing a limited 4-tournament schedule, all in Florida, to let its players get healthy and recover. The Panthers will be moving up to 18U in 2018-2019 and returning a huge portion of its roster – it will be exciting to continue watching them succeed at the next level, while representing the “smaller” programs with pride.

Key Players:

  • Maria Angelino (2019) Dartmouth
  • Alex Salter (2020) Alabama
  • Caridid Estes (2020) Ball State
  • Ryley Topliff (2020) FGCU
  • Abbey Thomas (2019) FGCG
  • Riley Sanders (2021) Uncommitted
  • Mackenzie Wittenburg (2021) Uncommitted
