Welcome back #33 Avery Brooks! 💎🥎

Avery is a lockdown center fielder who can patrol anywhere in the outfield for us. Her speed and range are second to none, allowing her to track down balls in the gaps that most players simply can’t reach. If Avery can get to it, she’s going to make the play. This summer she also gained valuable experience at second base, where she recorded her first career putout to end a game.

At the plate, Avery’s bat came alive as the summer progressed. After an outstanding JV season highlighted by multiple home runs, she carried that momentum into travel ball with breakout home runs in back-to-back games at the USSSA Midwest Showcase. Avery hits for both average and power, making her a constant threat in the lineup.

Once she gets on base, her elite speed changes the game. She can swipe bags, take the extra base, and turn routine singles into doubles with aggressive, intelligent baserunning.

We’re excited to have Avery back in a Diamonds uniform and can’t wait to see what she accomplishes this season.

Welcome back, Avery! 💎

Last but certainly not least, join us in welcoming the final addition to our 2026/27 GR Diamonds 16U Courtade roster!

💎 Welcome to the team, #42 Emma Moore! 💎

Emma is an incredible talent, an outstanding teammate, and an even better young lady. She has a personality that lights up every room she walks into, and her laugh is one you’ll never forget. She brings energy, positivity, and enthusiasm everywhere she goes.

On the field, Emma is the definition of a utility player. Her athleticism, strong arm, and high softball IQ make her an impact player at multiple positions. She can play just about anywhere on the field except pitcher—and knowing Emma, if the team needed her there, she’d be willing to give it everything she had. That’s the kind of teammate she is.

At the plate, Emma brings game-changing power. She has launched numerous home runs throughout her career and even reached the finals of the Little League Home Run Derby Championship. But don’t let the power overshadow the rest of her game—Emma also hits for a high average and consistently puts quality swings on the ball.

Once she reaches base, her speed becomes another weapon. She can steal bases, take the extra base, and constantly pressure opposing defenses with her aggressive, smart baserunning.

Emma checks every box we look for in a player—talent, versatility, toughness, and an incredible team-first attitude. We couldn’t be more excited to welcome Emma and the entire Moore family to the Diamonds family.

Welcome aboard, Emma! We can’t wait to see what we’ll accomplish together.

🔥 Welcome back #24 Khloe Courtade! 🔥

Khloe is one of our Four Horsemen in the circle and will be a key part of helping us make deep tournament runs this season. Last year, she posted a 2:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio, held opposing hitters to a .188 batting average, and finished with a 2.47 ERA. With five different pitches that she isn’t afraid to throw in any count, she keeps hitters guessing every time she steps in the circle. When she’s not pitching, Khloe provides strong defense at first base.

At the plate, Khloe is a true power threat who can drive the ball to all fields. She has a disciplined approach, works deep counts, and isn’t afraid to take a walk, making her a tough out every time she steps into the batter’s box.

While she may not be the fastest runner on the team, Khloe is one of our smartest on the bases. She reads the game well, runs with purpose, and consistently puts herself in position to take the extra base.

Welcome back, Khloe! We’re excited to see everything you’ll accomplish this season. 💎🥎

Welcome back #18 Raelynn “Rae” Fohlbrook! 💎🥎🩵

Rae is an absolute bulldog in the circle who will do whatever it takes to help her team win. She attacks every challenge with confidence and competes on every pitch, keeping hitters off balance with her mix. When she isn’t in the circle, Rae is the definition of a utility player. We can plug her in anywhere on the field, and she’ll strengthen our defense while doing whatever the team needs.

At the plate, Rae is a complete hitter. She has gap-to-gap power, consistently barrels the ball, and hits for both average and power. She also has a disciplined approach, works deep counts, and isn’t afraid to take a walk, making her a tough out every time she steps into the box.

One thing you’ll never miss is Rae’s energy. She is one of our most vocal players, bringing enthusiasm, and encouragement every inning. Her competitive spirit and team-first drive make her an invaluable part of our program.

Welcome back, Rae! We’re excited to have you back for another season!
