I checked out 12 of the highest energy hitters in school softball this yr. As it’s possible you’ll think about, there are a ton — so many with comparable stat traces — so you actually cannot differentiate based mostly on stats alone. So this listing will after all miss many gifted energy bats.
Bri Ellis, Arkansas
Let’s undergo it beginning with the obvious one, Bri Ellis at Arkansas. Her numbers do not even look actual, and she or he is doing all of it as a righty hitter in a fully loaded convention in opposition to among the greatest pitchers within the nation. She’s hitting .491 with over 20 homers and 65 RBI.
Cori McMillan, Virginia Tech
And talking of online game numbers, Virginia Tech’s Cori McMillan positive isn’t far off — hitting simply over .440 with 25 homers and over 1.500 OPS.
Megan Grant and Jordan Woolery, UCLA
There’s a duo at UCLA and I simply couldn’t think about leaving one off of this listing — Megan Grant is hitting over .410 with over 20 homers and an over 1.600 OPS is insane.
After which attempt having that proper subsequent to Jordan Woolery within the order, hitting simply over .420, 19 homers and an over 1.400 OPS. Again to again, that is without doubt one of the greatest duos within the nation in a lineup.
Jasmyn Burns, Ohio State
Ohio State leads the nation in homers — and Jasmyn Burns headlines the expertise. This staff is stuffed with energy hitter, so I couldn’t have all of them on right here. However Burns is hitting over .475 with over 20 bombs.
Reese Atwood, Texas
Reese Atwood at Texas has to make this listing — cannot deny she is without doubt one of the greatest energy hitters within the nation. Final yr she had over 20 homers and an over .420 common as she led her staff to the WCWS finals, and this yr she is once more hitting over .400 with double digit bombs, over 15.

How a few freshman making the listing, as a result of Tori Edwards has uncooked energy and she or he hits for common, too. She’s a freshman within the prime 10 within the NCAA in RBI as properly. She has over a .420 common and shut to twenty homers.
Taylor Minnick, Indiana
Taylor Minnick at Indiana has hit double-digit homers for the previous few seasons, however this yr she has 15 bombs whereas hitting over .500. Now, that’s insane!

Taylor Pannell, Tennessee
Taylor Pannell at Tennessee one other one hitting over .435 with 15 homers. She has come up huge for Tennessee within the huge moments — she homered in a 3-for-3 day on the plate at then-No. 2 Oklahoma.
Kasidi Pickering, Oklahoma
I want one of many Oklahoma energy bats on right here, and it is Kasidi Pickering who stands out probably the most, hitting over .430 with an over 1.400 OPS. A duo of freshmen in Gabbie Garcia and Nelly McEnroe-Marinas may very well be on right here, too.
Jordy Bahl, Nebraska
After which how about this. Jordy Bahl is without doubt one of the prime pitchers within the nation, however she’s additionally undeniably probably the greatest energy hitters within the nation — I imply she is unreal. Her common is flirting with .470 and she or he has an OPS over 1.500 and 17 homers.
All proper, that’s 10. I do know what you’re pondering — there’s SO many names lacking. The place’s Rylee McCoy at Oregon, Taylor Shumaker at Florida, Maddie Moore at Clemson and so many extra. Can’t go on all day and we actually have a whole lot of gifted gamers and energy bats throughout the nation in school softball.
