Back for her 13th year playing with Coach Jeff (and 16th with Coach Jeff overall 😎) is #9 Annaliese Strange!

A 2028 lean and wiry IF/OF, Anna brings a solid blend of athleticism to the ballpark. She has quickness on the field and on the bases. Line drive swing and a versatile glove.

Offensively, she shows an ability to generate good bat speed and can pepper the gaps. A good contact hitter with a strong eye at the plate, Anna can hit the highest velocities when she’s locked in. She’s also a strong bunter and shows good speed on the bases.

Defensively, Anna shows nice positional flexibility on the infield with good hands and solid range. She’s very comfortable with the backhand play up the middle, in the hole or down the line. She can also handle the OF as well, showing good tracking skills.

Anna suffered a tear to her right labrum last fall and worked hard to regain her strength throughout the winter and spring. As she continues to add strength, Anna offers a strong bat and defensive presence to our squad.

Looking for another fun season, Niner!

Top Gun 2028 National would like to welcome #33 Charli Kupferle!

A 2028 SS, Charli played a key role in helping her Lindbergh High School Flyers’ squad to a 3rd place finish in the Missouri Class 5 State Championships last year, earning All-State All-Tournament team honors in the process.

Charli possesses a unique blend of pop and speed, logging impressive power statistics and stolen base totals over the last year. She also showcases excellent defensive ability, highlighted by strong range, soft hands and a strong arm.

Highly athletic on the field and an excellent student in the classroom, we are excited to welcome her to our squad!

Welcome aboard, Charli!

Back for her 2nd year with our squad is #53 Abbie Kraemer!

Abbie is a big, powerful 2028 1B that has shown large degrees of success at a very high level. She put together a strong showing on both offense and defense in 2026 before an injury shut her down for the season – she was leading our team in hitting up until she suffered her setback.

Good upside at the plate and in the field. Strong, with size and strength in the box and power to all fields. Abbie pounds out impressive exit velocities on anything that she squares up and shows an ability to come up with a big hit in clutch spots.

Smooth footwork with soft hands on the field. Abbie moves very well and picks throws in the dirt with aplomb and poise. She stepped into a vocal leadership role on the field as she grew more comfortable with her new squad this past season. She also shows good instincts on the field as well, demonstrating a sound game awareness.

Looking forward to a great season, Abbie!

Top Gun 2028 National - Strange would like to welcome #18 Charlie Berkmeyer!

A 2028 RHP/1B, Charlie has produced at a high level for years now, both on the travel ball circuit and also with her Westminster Christian Academy high school squad, which took home 3rd in the Missouri State Class 4 Tournament during her freshman season and then posted a very successful 23-8 season last year.

Charlie pitches with a cerebral approach and has an advanced understanding of how to attack hitters. She was successful on the big stage this summer, throwing against top some of the top teams in the country. With strong command of her arsenal, Charlie shows good speed and excellent spin in the circle.

A strong defender at 1B with pop in her bat, Charlie was one of the top hitters in the STL area during her sophomore campaign. She finished among the area leaders with a .505 Batting Average along with 17 doubles (also among the STL area leadership board).

With a strong frame and an advanced softball IQ, Charlie is an exciting addition to our squad. Looking forward to watching her in Orange and Navy this upcoming season!

Welcome aboard, Charlie!
