12/09/2012 - College PREP - Agoura Hills, CA Ali is a strong, athletic C whom can swing it from both sides of the plate. Defensively, she has soft hands, strong wrists and is quick to throw accurately. She has a lot of raw ability and good instincts behind the plate and will benefit from anticipating secondary pitches in the dirt to improve timing to block and body control. Pop times will improve as she incorporates a power line with her feet and keeps her lead shoulder on target with a tall glove to hand transfer to improve carry and flight. At the plate, Ali uses a square set up with no load, a short stride and keeps her balance centered before launching her short swing to the ball from both sides of the plate. She uses her lower half a little better from the right side and should continue drill work for lower ½ from the left side to improve power production and overall quality of contact. She flashes pop from both sides but needs to keep her hands up from the right side, staying through contact, creating back spin and carry consistently. Overall, Ali is a solid player to watch and needs to continue to seek quality instruction and reps to ensure her progression.
