Players 1 - 200
Jayden Heavener, Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
Today we announce the Legacy & Legends Softball Top 200 Players for the 2024 Class for the 2022 calendar year. We congratulate all nominees and those selected as the nationally elite and "best of the best" on their outstanding achievements. Unfortunately, we couldn't add everyone to our list that was nominated or referred for ranking. We hope those will use this as motivation to continue trying and come back next year and join this group.
According to several reports and articles, over 75,000 per year group play competitive softball. To simply be nominated is an honor in itself. To have laudatory and praiseworthy information available for review indicates a high level of value placed upon you by those who care. Again, congratulations to all who were honored as the Top 200 for the 2024 Class for the 2022 calendar year.
The Top 5 of the 2024 Class followed by the entire list of our nation's finest softball players.
1. Jayden Heavener; Pitcher (Left); Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
"Jayden is a rare gem that combines a dynamic fastball at 67 mph and a dominant rise and drop curve keeping hitters guessing and creating a ton of swing and misses. At the plate, Jayden has tremendous power and is a threat to leave the yard at all times."
--- Co Head Coach Jay Ross, Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
2. Ella McDowell; Middle Infield; Impact Gold - Jazz 16U
"From an opposing coach observation, McDowell is the complete package with no weakness in her game. She is a rare, true 5 tool talent and one of the most exciting players to watch in the game."
-- Co Head Coach Dillan Bailey, Georgia Thunderbolts - Bailey 2024
2. Morgan Reimer; Pitcher (Right); Georgia Impact - Sampson 06
"It was the first game of PGF last year when I realized how special Morgan was as a pitcher. She took control of the game from the first pitch to the last. Word traveled fast, I had college coaches asking “Brett, where did you find this secret weapon?” More importantly it was amazing how fast a 14 year old girl from another country fit in with the coaching staff and teammates! Morgan is a team player, she always wants her fellow teammates to thrive as well! Her work ethic is awesome. She knows that is what it is going to take to be great at the college level. I feel that she has the talent and mental strength to be one of the best pitchers in the nation."
-- Head Coach Brett Sampson, Georgia Impact - Sampson 06
4. Esther White; Middle Infield; Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
"She has tremendous range as a middle infielder with a quick release on her throws. Offensively, Essie will always be at the top in team homeruns, high batting average and stolen bases. She has tremendous footspeed and will beat defenses not only with the long ball but she plays the short game as well as anyone from the left side of the box."
--- Co Head Coach Jay Ross, Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
5. Kaylie Avvisato; Middle Infield; Virginia Glory - Willemssen 18U
"Kaylie is an elite mover that immediately captures your eye. Whether its on the field or at the plate, her athleticism just radiates. In addition to being a Power 5 softball prospect, she could also play D1 basketball. Most importantly her character and team first attitude matches her playing ability. She is joy in action."
-- Head Coach Suzy Willemssen, Virginia Glory 18U - Willemssen
5. Sydni Burko; Third Base; Beverly Bandits Premier 16U (Krause)
"Sydni is definitely a top 5 player in the 2024 class. She packs power and is a consistent gap hitter who drives in runs. In the field, she is as smooth and fundamentally as they come. We can count on her to make all the plays. Sydni is a player that thrives under pressure. The bigger the game, the better she plays."
Assistant Coach Brian Hanik, Beverly Bandits Premier 16U - Krause
5. Destiny Harris; Outfield; Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
"Destiny has sprinter speed and competes on her high school track team and has been known to hit monster homeruns exceeding 280 feet. Not only is she a threat to hit a homerun every time she steps to the plate but its difficult for defenses to hold her to just a single on a base hit."
Co Head Coach Jay Ross, Virginia Unity - Johnson/Ross
5. Addisen Fisher; Pitcher (Right); NW Bullets - 18U Gold Campos
"Addisen has one of the most purest pitching motions we have ever seen; multiple Power 5 colleges say the same. Her pitching motion is fluid and so effortless. It makes it so fun to watch. She pitched against many of the top teams and players in the nation at the 18U level all while just 14 years old. Just about every Top 25 D1 softball program is very interested in her."
-- Assistant/Pitching Coach Mariah Dawson, NW Bullets 18U Campos
5. Emma Kavanagh; Catcher; Illinois Chill Gold 18U
"Emma is a strong catcher, with a great arm and presence behind the plate. Emma is an amazing hitter with a lot of power. She is being followed by many P5 colleges and she will be committed for sure shortly after Sept 1st. Best 2024 catcher in the nation."
-- Mike Brown, Chief of Evaluations, Legacy & Legends Softball
