    you gotta love the ones who can sucessfully pull this off; speed, bat control, footwork, the timing involved...........

    watched abbie looper(hopewell/GWU) do it for a number of years to name one who performed well during travel and high school ball and a tough Out. LaRhonda McClain, So, Kings Mtn HS, could be one of the state best if she worked at it yearround(good young VBall player) but those Lady Mounties love there volleyball!

    who are some others that come to mind when you think of a true slap hitter?

    Evan Miller(central cabarrus,2 yrs. ago) was probably the best i have seen. i wouldn't classify here as a pure slap hitter, because she could also just as easily hit it over the right-fielders' head and be back at home plate before the fielder picked up the ball

    she is for sure a solid slapper to the truest form...........USC-S has a gem with her! I just wish she would have dumped basketball and focused on softball but she seemed content and sucessful at each so Hawkins can complain too much.

    She had a good game against Winthrop this past fall season and we are planning see her and others again in March for the USCS tournament in Spartanburg! Evan has a few records in the book if i am not mistaken.......research time, at central or state-level. Hmmmmmmm??????

    Any new ones coming along in your neck of the woods....stickman?

    2.7 sec. Lyndsey Gay - West Rowan HS. I was told that she has been timed at 2.5 sec.

    Thanks

    Then 2.8 would be considered right up there! Thanks for the info. Needed some comparison times.

    Destiny Covington CC switch to left side just before going to Boulder Firecracker tournament. Sat with D1 coches timing her from ball contact to first 2.7 to 2.8 each time.Watch out for her this year in HS, should be lead off for CC.Don't look for E.Miller or T. Beamer which was faster than Evan, State records to be broken anytime soon.
