RETURNERS

  • Lexi Lopez (2024, 2B/SS, Cal Baptist, she’s one of the top players to come through the organization. She can flat out play defense and has held down the middle of the infield since 14U. Offensively, she is the leadoff hitter that has come into her own the last few years. Over the last year and a half, she’s hitting over .400 and has allowed the offense to flourish because of how often she gets on base)
  • Sarah Coccillos (2024, SS, Cal State Fullerton, she’s been the club’s SS since 12U. She’s an amazing defensive player that keeps improving her skills each year.

She’s been the leader on the INF for five years)
  • Mattie Beliveau (2024, RHP, Hawaii, she’s the go-to pitcher on the 16U staff and has been in the organization since 12U. Snyder said she’s improved so much it has been an honor to watch her mature into the dominant pitcher she has become. She’s in the mid 60s with tremendous spin. She has a change-up that she throws at any time, which has made her one of the top pitchers in California)
  • Savannah Gatewood (2024, OF/2B, Cal Baptist, a speedy OF that fills in at 2B for when needed. She can flat out run and has hit at the top of the lineup since 12U.

  • Makenna Cerny (2024, OF/P, uncommitted, a speedy OF with a plus arm and has been in the organization since 12U.

  • Jessica Ramos (2025, C, uncommitted, she’s been one of the team’s catchers since 12U. She’s extremely gifted offensively and hits that ball as hard as anyone in the country. She has opposite-field power that rivals anyone and pull-side power that allows her to hit the ball out of any park. She has improved tremendously behind the plate and is throwing out over 68 percent of runners this year and has made the team better defensively because of her defense)

NEWCPMERS

  • Alex Garcia (2024, 3B, Utah State, a power threat in the lineup that has added another dimension to the team’s offense that they were lacking in the middle of the order. She’s really changed the middle of the order when it comes to driving in runs. Defensively, she is a hard-nosed 3B that has no fear)
  • Kennedy Thompson (2024, CF, uncommitted, Snyder said “she’s one of the best center fielders I have ever coached at any level.” She is aggressive and has a plus arm with plus accuracy from anywhere on the field. Offensively, she’s a speed threat that uses the gaps. Her IQ on the bases and offensively makes it easy for coaches to trust her instincts in the box)
  • Caitlyn Esteves (2024, OF/C, uncommitted, probably one of the club’s best pickups this year. She’s an OF/C that has solidified the 2-spot in the lineup. She is constantly on base and allows the middle of the lineup the opportunity to drive in runs at a high rate. A High IQ kid that is a leader on and off the field. She has developed into a great OF as well)
  • Shai Riemedio (2024, OF/INF, uncommitted, a great addition for the team in the OF. A lefty slapper that adds something the team never really had in the lineup. She’s fast and defensively very aggressive. Another one of the outfielders that controls the running game and limits runners from advancing because of her arm)
  • Marianna Hernandez (2024, P, uncommitted, a new addition to the staff and she has been outstanding for the team. She competes in all counts and rarely throws a ball that doesn’t move. She has a sub-2.1 ERA this year and the team counts on her in big situations to get outs using her movement and elevation)
