The Florida high school softball season has officially concluded, and now we turn our attention to the player of the year nominees. High School on SI will nominate 12 student-athletes who they think will be the player of the year in their respective classifications.

Voting will end on Sunday, June 22nd, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time. Here are the nominees for the Class 3A softball player of the year.

Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition.
