TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - Alabama Softball signed six student-athletes during the early signing period, bringing in Reagan Dykes, Caroline Hardy, Andrea Kindrick, Merris Schroder, Madi Moore and Mari Cranek.

"This could be one of our more complete classes," said Head Coach Patrick Murphy. "We added two pitchers, two legitimate utility athletes and two power hitters who can play multiple positions. More importantly, we added six tremendous young ladies who are all strong academically and come from great families. It's going to be fun watching their progress over the next few years."

CAROLINE HARDY

Caroline Hardy hails from nearby Vestavia Hills, Ala., where she was a starting first baseman at Vestavia Hills High School. She was named All-State and All-Metro in each of her three seasons, was named the Birmingham News 2013 Hitter of the Year and was a member of the 2014 North/South All-Stars. She was twice named a Max Preps All-American and also competed in the shot put during the indoor track and field season. She previously played club softball with Tennessee Fury, placing third at the ASA 16U Nationals in 2013 and winning the Adidas Futures and TCS Fireworks tournaments in 2012. This upcoming season, she will play with the East Cobb Bullets.

"Caroline comes from a great high school program at Vestavia Hills where she was a great power hitter," says Murphy. "She can also play multiple positions to go along with her great bat."

Awesome!  Now, when we get introduced to them in a scrimmage game?
