Orange Beach sophomore Kaylee Grace Favors, the second-ranked prospect in her class according to Legacy and Legends Softball, is one of the featured candidates in the running for Scorebook Live’s national first baseman of the year.

In a countrywide search for who its readers think will be the nation’s top first baseman, Favors is among 20 of the top players from various classes and states that were included in the voting competition.

For the Makos, Favors has been seen in the pitcher’s circle where she was named to the Alabama Sports Writers Association’s first-team all-state after winning the Class 2A State Championship MVP to help Orange Beach capture its second straight title.

She racked up 254 strikeouts in 136 innings pitched and complemented the efforts at the plate with a .446 average where she collected 63 RBIs including 15 home runs.

Over the summer, Favors was chosen as the No. 2 overall prospect in the Class of 2025 by Legacy and Legends Softball. She was joined by classmate Daigle Wilson (No. 30) in representing the Makos on the list.
