Since starting our 2026-2027 edition of the Master Commit Spreadsheet on Sept. 1, we have over 1,300 commits in the less than two months since then!

Of those, 574 are for the current junior class (2028’s) and 648 are seniors (2027’s).

These seniors included since Sept. 1 are in addition to the 2027’s who committed previously—the nearly 2,000 listed in LAST year’s Master Commit Spreadsheet?

Important NOTE about 2027’s: We are still getting a heavy number of 2027 commits coming in so if you’re one of those, feel free to send your info in to us to get added into our system.

Today’s Commit Spotlight Is…

Our spotlight commit for today is Emory Whisner, a 2028 pitcher from Newark, Ohio, who attends Licking Valley High School and plays club ball for the Turnin2 16U team coached by Ron Pezzoni.

This summer, Emory helped her club team finish as runners-up at the 2026 Alliance Fastpitch Championship Series Tier 1 National as she pitched 51.2 innings in 14 games—10 she started—and against 261 opposing hitters had a 60 percent strike percentage with a 1.32 ERA.

She also helped herself at the plate by hitting .305 with three home runs, eight doubles and 16 RBIs.

For Licking Valley High, she earned All-State honors after being dominating in the circle and at the plate, going 22-0 with 134 innings pitched, 194 strikeouts and a 0.84 ERA.

Offensively, Emory batted .575 with 15 home runs and a 1.97 OPS

She also is outstanding in the classroom with a 4.36 GAP.

Emory is described by Trevor Carah, Assistant Coach for her Turnin2 team, as a “durable, heavy-workload frontline arm who served as the pitching staff’s primary workhorse, leading the team in appearances, starts, batters faced, and innings against premier national competition.”

She throws a heavy-sink ground-ball pitch without giving up many walks and offensively is a middle-of-the-order power-hitting threat.
