ABOUT
When legendary club coach Bruce Richardson of the So Cal A’s organization is high on a player, it’s a good bet she’s one to watch.
Richardson, whose 18U teams won the first four PGF Nationals and several other national championships, has produced standout players who’ve gone on to win NCAA National Championships including pitcher Delaney Gurley (Florida) and outfielder Kelli Godin (UCLA) among dozens, if not hundreds, more who have had success at the DI level.
One player he’s been high on for a while is today’s 2021 spotlight player, one of the top catchers in the junior class, Hannah Slike, who could be just a few weeks away from announcing where she’ll attend college…
