PLAY BALL: Slayton will punish the ball for No. 6 Santa Fe

No. 6 Santa Fe Indians

The Indians went 30-7 in year one under Andrew Whittington and they return four starters off the team that reached the Regional Semifinals.

St. Thomas University-commit Mea Slayton was the District 18-5A Offensive MVP a year ago, hitting .311 with 13 doubles and 29 RBIs. Fellow outfielder Katelynn Torres hit .343 with 11 stolen bases and scored 27 runs while being named second-team, all-district.

Other players to watch include Mikayla Pruitt (.394), Mallory Richardson, Carlie Hrncir, Mikayla Nations, Mikayla Pruitt and Shelby Fraser.

Whittington knows his team will be “young with lots of room for growth and development” in 2024.
