10/07/2012 - College PREP - Austin, TX Zierra is an athletic SS with a well-balanced skill set. Defensively, she is a soft, sure handed defender with an adequate arm that produces accurate results. She will benefit from improving her foot speed to benefit her range and continue to get dirty and take chances trying to make a big play. She can make adjustments and will improve quickly with the right instruction and drill package. At the plate, Zierra uses a square set up with no load, a short stride and keeps her balance on her front foot before launching to the ball. Long at times, her swing recovers to consistently hit the ball hard to all fields and will produce more power if shortened. She flashes pop and has athletic actions but should consider adding a load and eliminating tendency to bar her lead arm in launch phase to further develop. Overall, Zierra is a nice player and will command attention as she gets stronger and makes the above mentioned adjustments to her game. It is vital that she continue to seek quality instruction and opponents to push her and help her to get the most out of her ability.
