HIGH SCHOOL

  • The senior out of Centennial High School in Peoria, Ariz., was one of the elite hitters in the prep ranks in the state and a local product that can make an immediate impact in the Sun Devil lineup.
  • McCarty had a career .545 average for the Coyotes, responsible for 162 career runs and 136 RBI and a .599 career on-base percentage.
  • In McCarty's senior year she had a .536 batting average, hit 41 runs, a 23 RBI, 9 doubles, 7 triples and 2 home runs. 
  • Potentially the best all-around player in the state, McCarty was named to Full Count Softball’s Hot 100 for the 2015 signing class. McCarty has a lot of speed and is a threat on the base path as demonstrated by her 23 career stolen bases, 14 career triples and 35 career doubles.  The speed also makes her an asset in the outfield, giving her a chance to make a lot of plays once she gets a beat on the ball.
  • McCarty is a three-time AIA 1st Team All-Section and All-Division selection and earned All-Arizona honors as a sophomore. She was named a MaxPreps 2012 underclassman All-American in 2012 and to the Best of the West Top 100 Prep Play list in 2013 – the same year she notched her All-State selection.
  • McCarty played for Coach Mike Repak at Centennial and for Bill Conroy for her club squad, the Beverly Bandits. She has appeared at the 18U Premier Nationals every years from 2011-14 with her club teams.
