We have just a handful of regular season games left in the Iowa high school softball season. From there, it is postseason time, with all roads pointing to Fort Dodge and Rogers Park for the state tournament.

With all that on the horizon, we have some pretty important honors to hand out here very soon. Here are seven players in Class 4A who should be in the running for the Iowa high school softball player of the year:

Carly Brewer, Norwalk, Senior

Brewer’s final season with the Warriors is going well, as she is hitting .500 with 13 home runs, 51 RBI, eight doubles and 52 total hits. She is also 18-5 as a pitcher with 147 strikeouts.

Braylen Conlon, Cedar Rapids Xavier, Senior

One part of a talented senior tandem, Conlon is 23-0 inside the circle with a 0.42 earned run average and 253 strikeouts. Opponents are hitting just .089 off her, as she has allowed 42 hits against 471 batters.

Aubree Davis, Lewis Central, Junior

Davis is hitting .700 with 13 home runs, eight triples and seven doubles, driving in 50 runs while scoring 55 times in 70 plate appearances.
