I have never thought of it but I'd have to say that in TB, she was correctly rated. Typically hit 3, 4 or 5 but mostly 4 in TB. Played every position but 3rd and catch and loved doing so. She knew in HS ball that she was going to play but thought that TB enabled her to be on the field no matter what since she knew how to play so many positions. As an OF in HS under rated. She doesn't have a lot of speed but then again, she had 11 assist as a sophomore. Yes, I said that right -- 11 assists. Don't run on her.
I always thought that she was a very good pitcher and was always the top pitcher for TB. However, in HS she only seemed to pitch the toughest games and mostly where one might think for out of conference we didn't have a chance to win. We won. Still, she would get 11 or 12 starts in HS and that was it. Once she hadn't pitched in a week and we were going to play the #4 ranked team in the state. It was also her birthday and she wasn't told she was pitching until game time. We won. She didn't pitch again until the conference championship a week and a half later. Her HS record was 29-1 and threw a perfect game and a no hitter. I know I must be "that parent" because few colleges wanted her to pitch. The only school to use a radar gun on her had her 63 consistently. While not great, she was 16 then. She did not pitch her senior year because she was not getting recruited to pitch and it seemed as if she was not needed in the circle.
