Here are the top pitchers with at least 30 wins, top sluggers with at least 17 home runs and the top base stealers with at least 60. If a name appears on one of these lists, then it will not appear on the individual team lists that follow.
The top remaining 12 from each of the 42 teams from Southern Arizona are listed. Those are in addition to the names listed above them. For instance, Kelsey Jenkins would easily make the top dozen for Sabino over the last decade and her name appears on the Stolen base list, giving the Sabercats more than 12 for the decade and so forth.
As expected, some teams were vastly more difficult than others.
NOTABLES
Kayla Bonstrom hit eight home runs in a 10-day period to help Canyon del Oro win the 2012 state championship. In addition, Bonstrom was also called on to pitch. It is unknown what her true final numbers are, but her 2-run shot in the eighth inning to give the Dorados the 2012 championship set a standard for one of the toughest softball regions in the country. The talent pool from Southern Arizona is unmatched, especially when one looks at population numbers and the smaller amount of high schools.
Katie Sherman went 101-16 in her career at Benson with an ERA of 1.71. She also picked up 849 strikeouts. She went 13-2 in the playoffs with two state championships, a runner-up finish and a semifinal finish.
Amphitheater standout Kristiana Watson hit for the Triple Crown as a freshman in 2017. The ASU commit was tops in average (.753), home runs (17) and RBI (54) in the Tucson area. Watson is scheduled to play her senior season with the Panthers.
Former Santa Cruz standout Tylor Gil hit 51 home runs in the decade. Current Tucson High and Arizona commit Carli Scupin has 41 through her junior season. While her senior season will not count for the last decade, she can set the standard for home runs in a career.
