4. Mo’ne Davis
The Taney Tigers all-star pitcher just broke the threshold to be considered a teenager, and she also smashed through gender and racial stereotypes. Mo’ne was the Tigers’ Most Value Player by a long shot and helped to catapult the team from Pennsylvania to Little League honors. She is a girl and she throws like a girl – a really powerful, confident, and humble girl. Her 70-mile-per-hour fastball, team spirit, and admirable work ethic makes her a great role model for young girls everywhere. In a world dominated by males, Mo’ne shines bright and has so much ahead of her. We expect greater things from her.
