10 OUTFIELDERS TO WATCH IN WASHINGTON

Lexi Barcomb, Chiawana, senior

She's played catcher and shortstop for the Riverhawks, but she is a natural in center field - and the all-4A MCC first teamer will play that at WWU.

Marisol Bergstrom, South Kitsap, senior

This all-4A SPSL centerfielder is the prototypical table-setter at the top of the Wolves' lineup - and then runs wild with little effort. Going to St. Martin's.

Ella Claus, Redmond, junior

On her personal softball website, she says, "I am kinda a beast." Nobody in the 4A KingCo who has watched that left-handed power stroke will disagree.

Emma Elliott, Battle Ground, junior

As a ninth grader, Elliott was a singles' hitter. Now, the all-4A GSHL left fielder hits it hard by people - and is the big bopper in this "No Fly" outfield

Mary Fogg, Mountain View, junior

There might not be a more versatile-hitting outfielder around than Fogg, who can slap line-drive home runs - or send them soaring over the fence, too.

Julia Holec, Eastlake, senior

With her range and ability to read the ball off the bat, it almost seems like this all-4A KingCo first teamer can play all outfield positions at the same time.

Amber Johnson, North Mason, senior

There just aren't any holes in this two-time 2A Olympic League all-league standout’s game, and she will likely be a corner outfielder at Seton Hall.

Mari Kamemoto, Bishop Blanchet, senior

She is known to be pesky, battling the Metro League's best pitchers in long at-bats - and usually coming out on top. Signed at Northwest Nazarene.

Hailey Rath, Eatonville, junior

Once upon a time, Rath was a leadoff hitter. Now, she is a middle-of-the-order monster - and hit 15 HR with 58 RBI this spring in 13 games. 

Tori Veter, Mead, senior

Came to high school as a catcher, but that speed screamed a move to center field. Panthers glad she did - two-time GSL first teamer on defense alone.
