The following student-athletes have been selected to The Washington Post’s 2023 All-Met team for softball:
Katie Kutz, P, Sr., Bishop O’Connell
Kutz completed her high school career without a blemish on her résumé, with a 44-0 record in the pitching circle for Bishop O’Connell during her four-year varsity career. The Oklahoma State commit again pitched the Knights to Washington Catholic Athletic Conference and Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association crowns, flaunting her dominance to help O’Connell sustain its reign over the region. She ended the season with 268 strikeouts and a 0.45 ERA en route to her second consecutive All-Met Player of the Year selection. Similarly dominant at the plate, Kutz had a .557 batting average and 13 home runs in her senior season.
Kaylie Avvisato, utility, Jr., Riverside
Dubbed a “dynamic” athlete at the plate by one opposing coach, the Northwestern commit was a driving force behind the Rams’ state semifinal appearance both at shortstop and at the plate.
Erika Castellano, IF, Sr., Potomac School
Castellano finished with a .677 batting average as the Panthers won their second straight Independent School League championship, 11-0, over Flint Hill.
Michelle Chatfield, IF, Sr., Woodgrove
Chatfield was a key cog in the Wolverines’ Class 5 state championship run. She will continue her softball career at Virginia Tech.
Caitlyn Cornwell, OF, Sr., Northeast
The Maryland commit set the Maryland single-season stolen bases record with 60 as a senior.
Isabella DiGiandomenico, P, Sr., Damascus
DiGiandomenico hit a deep home run to left field in the Hornets’ 2-0 win over Reservoir in the Maryland Class 3A state title game. She also dominated in the pitching circle in the victory and throughout the year.
Maggie Frisvold, P, Sr., Reservoir
She set school records in career strikeouts, single-season strikeouts, batting average and career triples while leading the Gators to another state championship appearance.
Genevieve Gleason, P, Sr., Clarksburg
Gleason finished with more than 200 strikeouts and six no-hitters while yielding just 23 hits all season.
Abbey Lane, P, Jr., Woodgrove
With Lane in the pitching circle, the Wolverines didn’t cede a run during their journey to a Class 5 championship. Lane also proved her mettle at the plate with an RBI double in Woodgrove’s 2-0 semifinal victory over Nansemond River.
Morgan Lipansky, utility, Sr., Damascus
She allowed only five runs all year as a part of the Hornets’ dynamic pitching committee while also batting .514 en route to the team’s state championship win.
Delaney Mosley, IF, Sr., St. John’s
The Illinois commit shined at shortstop and closed out her distinguished high school career with a D.C. State Athletic Association championship victory.
Abby Rebhan, P, Jr., Potomac School
She boasted a 15-1 record inside the pitching circle for the ISL champions and also notched double-digit home runs.
Hailey Simpson, P, So., McLean
In her second year of high school, Simpson pitched 23 innings in just over 24 hours to propel the Highlanders to a Virginia Class 6 title victory over Madison.
Kristin White, utility, Sr., Crofton
She spun five no-hitters, including three perfect games, notched over 200 strikeouts and closed out her career with a school record 19-strikeout game in the Cardinals’ region final appearance.
Christina Willemssen, utility, Sr., Robinson
The Notre Dame commit was tabbed as the Rams’ starting pitcher despite her natural outfield position and carried her team to a state tournament appearance with her dominance at the plate.
Tawil’s Highlanders ousted defending champion Madison in the Class 6 championship game, the veteran coach’s second career state crown. The win was his 300th as a coach.
