What Is your opinion of Taryn Antoine


I've seen her play in person quite a few games. Plays SS on a very good high school team. More compact build than the two fast slappers we brought in for 2016. I don't think she is as fast as Andrews or Landry but she would not be far behind. She will slap more like Landry, meaning she can drive the ball to the gaps for extra base hits and is not an exclusive touch and go.

She will cover more ground than Griggs in CF but does not have an exceptional arm. It's playable but not great.

I don't think she is as advanced as some of the younger players that may be in front of her but she has some good tools to work with.

Don't really know how good this player will be, but Torina likes pitchers with height

Hoover 6'2"
Walljasper 6'2"
Smith 6'0"
Gorsuch 5'10"

FYI


All the good softball pitchers are tall

I was told that she is committed to Jones JC. Control is still a big problem for her but she is definitely throwing mid-60s with a nice change on the hands.


In the last year she's improved a bunch. She dominated at LSU's camp. Not committed to Jones, but her dad is in the HOF there so it's certainly an option. Beth doesn't have anymore $$ for her class, but a walkon is still a possibility

Her Dad was my daughter's hitting coach before we moved back to Louisiana. She worked with my daughter some on pitching and hitting. She is complete business when it comes to softball knows her stuff and was excellent with my daughter. I can't wait to see her in purple and gold next year!

I think at the plate she has a lot of tools similarly to Landry. She is a lot more powerful than Griggs and Andrews. I would expect her to immediately get looks next year out there. I think she brings a lot to the plate. Her offensive game seems to really be taking off so far her senior season, she already has 4 home runs as well. Hitting over .600. I think Antoine and Sunseri will definitely be getting a lot of looks extremely early next season.

Also I am pretty excited about the 2018 class. A lot of power in that class. Tidwell will be a good one. Jordyn Perkins is extremely underrated, she will definitely be a fan favorite. Morgan Cummins is going to be a monster if she continues to develop. She's extremely powerful at the plate. Already has 9 homeruns this year!
