This group adds depth and experience to an incredible team working on league development, joining softball legends Jennie Finch, Jessica Mendoza, Osterman, and Natasha Watley who are advisors to the AUSL.
The General Managers will assemble their rosters from a list that includes these players and others, beginning with the AUSL Allocation Draft, which will take place in early 2025. There will also be a college draft later in the spring, allowing each team to fill out its final roster spots.
Earlier this year, the AUSL also announced the first group of players to sign with the league, which included the following Little League alumnae:
- Carly Hoover – South Simpsonville (S.C.) LL – 2008 LLSWS Champion
- Jesse Warren – Citrus Park LL (Tampa, Fla.)
- Morgan Zerkle – Ona-Milton (W.V.) LL
