Where I was almost perfect with my predictions of where the commits would fall in the last rankings for the 2020 class, I am failing miserably with the final rankings of the 2018 class. Grace Lyons was ranked #5 in the last go around and predicted around the same this time. Brooke Vestal is the last OU commit and because of injuries I predicted a fall from #1 to #9. That only means one thing, she will probably stay at #1.
13 | Grace Lyons, MIF | Firecrackers – Rico (Oklahoma)
You would be hard-pressed to find another glove in the infield that is better than Lyons. Whether she’s moving to her backhand or forehand side, every play she makes seems effortless and calculated. “What she does in the field defensively is ridiculous, there are few if any in her class who can do the things Grace does.” said one club coach. This season for at O’Connor (Phoenix, AZ) High, she batted .526 with 50 hits, 47 runs scored, and 35 RBIs in 33 games played. And she showed extra-base power as she hit seven home runs with 14 doubles. Lyons held .982 fielding percentage out of 109 total chances. She will sign with Oklahoma this week.
