03/09/2013 - College PREP - Mt. Laurel, NJ Corinne is a versatile defender whom can play either SS or the OF. As a SS, she is a hustle player with good hand eye coordination and the ability to play through the ball while staying under control. She shows some life with carry on her throws and will benefit from improving her glove position early/out front, improving footwork when going side to side and improving agility/foot speed to increase range. As an OF, she makes accurate throws, gets behind the balls in the air to play through and takes aggressive angles/routes to the ball. She will see better results when charging balls on the ground if she plays lower with her hips and gets her hands further out front so she can get strait into power step/crow hop to throw. At the plate, Corinne uses a crouched, closed set up with no load, a short stride and steady balance before she launches to the ball. She has good hand eye, tracks the ball deep and possesses an above average bunt game which allows her to consistently pressure opposing defenses. Keeping her hands inside the ball with a downhill path will improve her quality of contact, power production and ability to use the entire field effectively. Overall, Corinne is a 3 sport athlete and has the potential to develop as a softball player if the proper steps are taken to develop properly. Attention to detail in her preparation should be her focus with finding quality coaching/reps' remaining a priority to ensure her development continues.
