"Erin dominated at the plate garnering the top two accolades as Hitter of the Year and AUSL MVP in the 2025 Regular Season. Her ability to self evaluate and adjust her game plan and approach set her apart in her preparation and it translated into her production at the plate. She quickly became the backbone of the middle of the offensive lineup and played stellar defense in the middle of the field." - General Manager Jenny Dalton-Hill

"Ana Gold was a breakout rookie star in the 2025 season. She is one of the best defensive players on the field, and made plays at third base from her first pro game. She is one of the top third basemen in the league but has the defensive skill set to play SS as well, giving a lot of versatility on the field. At the plate she quietly carried a .427 OBP and 1.094 OPS and tied for 3rd in HR's, all while playing her first full season in the pro league." - General Manager Dana Sorensen

"Rachel was our anchor in the circle in 2025 and showed why she is still one of the best arms in game. Anytime she has the ball, we have a chance to win the ball game. Her competitive nature is second to none." - General Manager Cat Osterman

"A consistent performer in the circle, Georgina combines elite command with a high-level softball IQ. Her precision, poise, and defensive ability at her position make her a dependable force every time she takes the field." - General Manager Lisa Fernandez

"Baylee Klingler is a true versatile player, with capabilities of playing both infield corner positions as well as both outfield corner positions. Offensively she was one of the hardest hitters at the plate to strike out with a four percent strikeout rate and a .571 slugging percentage. Baylee is a glue player in the clubhouse and always brings an infectious love of the game."

"Lexi proved why she was the first pick in the draft last season by tossing the second lowest ERA in the regular season and tied for the most wins by any pitcher in the league. The maturity she shows in game and her ability to control the strike zone gives us confidence against any team in the AUSL. We project her improvement to be exponential as we tap into her ability to expand her pitching repertoire."

"She’s one of the most competitive athletes you’ll meet, and that’s shown as she drove our offense from the start of the season. She remains one of the best hitters in the game with consistency and power."

"A true competitor on and off the field, Megan’s energy and passion elevate everyone around her. She embodies dominance in all zones, competing with confidence, focus, and a contagious drive to win."

"Having a lefty on staff is a unique commodity and to be able to utilize the experienced maturity that Taylor brings to the circle makes us confident that she will mix well with many different pitchers. Her proficiency to communicate clearly and directly with her teammates and coaches proved to be an unbelievable asset to the Bandits last season."

"Mia is a dynamic player who came with a ton of fanfare. She is exciting to watch on both sides of the ball. We look forward to showcasing her speed and athleticism in year two."

"A versatile athlete with elite skills for the game. Hannah’s leadership, high IQ, and consistent production in high-pressure situations make her valuable to any roster."

"Aubrey is a true leader and captain on the field. One of the brightest softball minds on the dirt, she brings leadership to the infield and is the epitome of a professional player. Leach finished in the top 10 in both average and on-base percentage. She can both beat you at the plate with the short game as well as drive the ball in the gap."

"Morgan may be one of the oldest players in the league, but she set herself apart with the power she put up last season. The league leader in home runs, she led off the Bandits with speed, power, and a calm yet aggressive demeanor that set the tone for the rest of the lineup. Her offensive numbers have improved each year she has played professionally, and we are impressed with her ability to continue to evolve and grow as a player."

"She’s as elite as they come on both sides of the ball. Her ability to change the game on defense or with a long ball makes her an asset for our roster."

"The 2025 All-Star Cup Champion is only just beginning her rise as one of the top players in the game. She is steadily becoming one of the brightest and trusted pitch callers behind the dish, not afraid to challenge conventional thinking on pitch sequencing, and is always ready to learn new avenues of thinking. At the plate, she does not present as a traditional hitter, but is one of the toughest outs in the league. We are looking forward to continued growth from her offensively, combining her ability to get on base with the power to drive the ball in the gaps and out of the park."

"A proven leader behind the plate, Sharlize is a true game changer who impacts the game in countless ways. Her elite defensive skill set, exceptional game-calling ability, and powerful offensive presence make her one of the most complete catchers in the game."

"Leadership is such an important part of any team sport, and Skylar held the reins for the Bandits last season. She holds herself to the highest standards in the off-season and pushes everyone around her to be their best in season. Not only does she lead with confidence, but she became a player that held our team together from the plate as well as up the middle defensively in 2025."

"Keilani had a rough start to her first season battling injury, but once healthy, she proved that she still is one of the toughest pitchers to barrel up. She was absolutely one of the most dominant pitchers in the second half of the season and carried that success through the All-Star Cup. Keilani is someone you can build a very diverse staff around, and her experience in all levels of the game speaks for itself."

"Dejah is one of the smartest catchers in the game. Defensively, she works for her pitching staff, calls a great game, and has a strong arm. You can’t sleep on her offensively either; We look for her to provide the power she’s notorious for in 2026."

"A fierce leader in the circle and an incredible ambassador for the sport. Her command, presence, and intensity set the tone for her team’s success and inspires the next generation of competitors."
