Spring has finally sprung, so it's time to highlight the top high school softball players in the state of Ohio and let you vote for the best of the best at their position.

We started with the catchers and then moved to the infielders. Now we take a look at the players who roam the outfield.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in Ohio, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive! Tag us on X or Instagram at @SBLiveOH and let us know about other athletes worthy of fans’ attention.

Note: Some players may excel at multiple positions. Do not be alarmed to see 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.)
