With the spring season officially here, it’s time to highlight the top high school baseball players in New York.

Fans will get an opportunity to vote on who they think is the best at their respective positions. 

High School On SI compiled a list of the best pitchers and the best infielders

Now, it’s the outfielders’ turn. This will be followed by catchers.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in New York, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive. Let us know about other athletes worthy of fans’ attention.

Note: Some players may excel at multiple positions. Do not be alarmed to see an infielder, catcher or a pitcher on this list, as we try to get as many players as possible.

(Players are listed in alphabetical order and all stats/accolades are from prior to this season; the poll is below the list of players.)

Voting ends Thursday, May 1 at 11:59 PM ET
