These are 12 of the best college softball power hitters this season

Top 12 power hitters in college softball this season

I looked at 12 of the top power hitters in college softball this year. As you may imagine, there are a ton 鈥 so many with similar stat lines 鈥 so you really can't differentiate based on stats alone. So this list will of course leave out many talented power bats.

Bri Ellis, Arkansas

Let's go through it starting with the most obvious one, Bri Ellis at Arkansas. Her numbers don't even look real, and she is doing it all as a righty hitter in an absolutely loaded conference against some of the best pitchers in the country. She's hitting .491 with over 20 homers and 65 RBI.

Cori McMillan, Virginia Tech

And speaking of video game numbers, Virginia Tech鈥檚 Cori McMillan sure isn鈥檛 far off 鈥 hitting just over .440 with 25 homers and over 1.500 OPS.

Megan Grant and Jordan Woolery, UCLA

Grant and Woolery

There is a duo at UCLA and I just couldn鈥檛 imagine leaving one off of this list 鈥 Megan Grant is hitting over .410 with over 20 homers and an over 1.600 OPS is insane.

And then try having that right next to Jordan Woolery in the order, hitting just over .420, 19 homers and an over 1.400 OPS. Back to back, that is one of the best duos in the country in a lineup.

Jasmyn Burns, Ohio State

Ohio State leads the country in homers 鈥 and Jasmyn Burns headlines the talent. This team is full of power hitter, so I couldn鈥檛 have them all on here. But Burns is hitting over .475 with over 20 bombs.

Reese Atwood, Texas

Reese Atwood at Texas has to make this list 鈥 can't deny she is one of the best power hitters in the country. Last year she had over 20 homers and an over .420 average as she led her team to the WCWS finals, and this year she is again hitting over .400 with double digit bombs, over 15.

Tori Edwards, LSU

How about a freshman making the list, because Tori Edwards has raw power and she hits for average, too. She's a freshman in the top 10 in the 红杏视频 in RBI as well. She has over a .420 average and close to 20 homers.

Taylor Minnick, Indiana

Taylor Minnick at Indiana has hit double-digit homers for the past few seasons, but this year she has 15 bombs while hitting over .500. Now, that is insane!

Miah McDonald, Marist

Let's take a look at a few more. Miah McDonald at Marist had to be on this list, as she has hit over 20 home runs so far this season with an average over .460.

Taylor Pannell, Tennessee

Taylor Pannell at Tennessee another one hitting over .435 with 15 homers. She has come up big for Tennessee in the big moments 鈥 she homered in a 3-for-3 day at the plate at then-No. 2 Oklahoma.

Kasidi Pickering, Oklahoma

I need one of the Oklahoma power bats on here, and it's Kasidi Pickering who stands out the most, hitting over .430 with an over 1.400 OPS. A duo of freshmen in Gabbie Garcia and Nelly McEnroe-Marinas could be on here, too.

Jordy Bahl, Nebraska

And then how about this. Jordy Bahl is one of the top pitchers in the country, but she's also undeniably one of the best power hitters in the country 鈥 I mean she is unreal. Her average is flirting with .470 and she has an OPS over 1.500 and 17 homers.

All right, that鈥檚 10. I know what you are thinking 鈥 there鈥檚 SO many names missing. Where鈥檚 Rylee McCoy at Oregon, Taylor Shumaker at Florida, Maddie Moore at Clemson and so many more. Can鈥檛 go on all day and we certainly have a lot of talented players and power bats across the country in college softball.
