<p>In baseball, your best hitter is usually positioned somewhere between fourth and sixth in the lineup, which increases the odds of bringing more runners home. The players below are impact players who directly contributed to their teams' success, made strong decisions, and helped "bring it home" for their teams.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">You can measure the impact a player has on the overall game, but spotting the ones who influence both their teammates and opponents is rare. [player_tooltip player_id='900455' first='Layla' last='Shomo'] is the teammate who pushes you to work harder and then shows you how to get there. On countless occasions, she was a paint-putback specialist in the paint and initiated the break. At 5'9", this guard/forward has countless intangibles; okay, Oklahoma.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='881268' first='Hartley' last='Barnes'] is an undersized guard with a lengthy list of top-tier talents. With deceptively long arms, she is difficult to disrupt, and her footwork is enviable. Hartley was a top-5 guard over the weekend. She made basketball fast-pitch passes soar over defenders' heads and appear magnetic. Forget threading the needle—Barnes is reading the court and capitalizing on every square inch as she maneuvers through transition, the top of the key, or even the short corner, all while weighing three scoring options and thinking four plays ahead.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='880014' first='Addison' last='Underwood'] was a top shooter in the 14U division, consistently making shots with a high degree of difficulty and range. Addison's "shotfidence" (shot confidence) is that of a practiced pro. A missed shot is just a clap and back to it. Given the frequency with which she finds the bottom of the net, she knows that to hit the next shot, you have to be ready to take it—shooters shoot. She was also a lane-disrupting defender, reading the pass like a well-timed shot.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">McKenzie English is a student of the game with a strong IQ. She plays every position for her Missouri Legacy team but shines below the charity stripe. English showcased a solid fundamental foundation, creating opportunities for her teammates in transition and fiercely contesting shot attempts in the post.</p>

<p class="text-gray-700">Bailey a confident impact player, repeatedly led the break or initiated the offense. She has a nice follow-through midrange shot and made precision passes in congested traffic. Dotson snatched rebounds from opponents before the jump ball call and led her team in either assists and points or points and rebounds. </p>
