11/18/2020 - 2020 Under Armour Softball Factory Fall Classic - 16U Emili is an athletic, R/R 3B/C who continues to shine. At the plate, she shows a squared setup. Hands are quick (61 mph exit velocity) and work through an aggressive swing path. She has strength in her swing and stays inside the ball with gap-to-gap pop. At 3B, she displays quick/athletic actions. Feet are active as she attacks balls and plays through with her body. Glove action is clean and she presents well out front. Throws are accurate coming from a quick arm whip but will benefit by building more arm strength through a long toss program. Range is a plus as she moves well laterally and covers ground. She also has the ability to get behind the dish. She tracks pitches into a soft mitt and frames well. Continuing to work on her lateral blocking technique will help to develop her skill-set as a catcher. Mental makeup is a plus as she is very coachable, plays with a lot of energy, and works hard to be the best player she can be. With 5 years to further develop, Emili has the makings of a special type player and will get looks from collegiate coaches with her abilities.
03/01/2020 - Interactive Video Program - Indianapolis, IN Emili is an exceptional young C/SS that has an athletic build and an advanced skillset. Behind the plate, she sits low and stays in her legs to receive with a firm glove. She has short/quick arm action and is accurate to throw to 2B. She exuded confidence while blocking and was quick and quiet down to deaden the ball in front. At SS, she worked with active feet and had plus range right and left. She presented the glove in front, got into a good athletic fielding position, and was quick and clean with her exchange. Her arm action remained short and quick to throw across the diamond and she kept her momentum going through the play to help carry. Offensively, she was aggressive with her approach and tried to stay up the middle of the field. Her rhythm and timing was fluid and smooth and she hit off a firm front side for hard contact. Overall - we are excited to continue tracking Emili's growth in the game as she matures and continues to have fun playing.
