This summer, three future University of Arizona Wildcats are making headlines by earning spots in prestigious travel ball all-star games. These games, organized by Premier Girls Fastpitch (PGF) and Alliance Fastpitch, highlight top talent from across the nation, and the inclusion of these young athletes underscores their potential impact on collegiate softball.
Violet Mitchell Joins PGF All-American Game
Violet Mitchell, an infielder committed to Arizona, will represent the West team in the PGF All-American Game on July 25. This annual event, airing on ESPNU, features 40 of the nation’s top senior players. Mitchell is one of only two Big 12 signees in this year’s lineup, continuing a proud tradition of Arizona players participating in this showcase.
Since its inception in 2016, the PGF All-American Game has seen numerous future Wildcats, including notable names like Jessie Harper and Dejah Mulipola, who played in the inaugural game. Mitchell’s participation marks her as the 15th future Wildcat to join this elite group.

Another future Wildcat, outfielder Taylor Sansaver, will compete in the PGF Futures game. This event, which began in 2021, features juniors and sophomores, offering a glimpse of the next generation of softball stars. Sansaver is among four players committed to Big 12 schools, highlighting the competitive nature of the conference.
Gabriela Nevarez in Alliance Fastpitch All-Star Game
Gabriela Nevarez, an incoming freshman outfielder, will take the field in the Alliance Fastpitch All-Star Game on July 19.
