Phoenyx Silva, La Salle Academy

Her offensive prowess didn’t stop there—Silva drove in 27 runs while crossing the plate herself 34 times, showcasing her ability to both power the lineup and ignite rallies.

Hailey Vigneau, La Salle Academy

Vigneau was a sophomore sensation in 2024, etching her name deeper into the state’s softball lore with a season for the ages. Taking the mound as the Rams’ ace, she piloted an undefeated 19-0 campaign, delivering pinpoint pitches that left batters flailing—she’d racked up 105 strikeouts in just 63 innings by early May, building on her freshman year’s 1.30 ERA.

Diana Hall, La Salle Academy

Genna D'Amato, Pilgrim

The University of Bridgeport commitment heads into the season as one of the state's best behind the plate. With a steady bat and sure fire glove, D'Amato is assuredly among Rhode Island's best players heading into the spring.

The junior left-hander dominated from the circle, finishing the 2024 season with a sparkling 13-1 record, a 1.29 ERA, and 143 strikeouts across 92 innings, keeping hitters guessing with a stingy 0.804 WHIP.

Leah Lapham, Coventry

For Lapham, 2024 was a breakout season—a sophomore surge that has cemented her as a rising star heading into 2025 with two more years to chase a state crown.

Maia Salvo, Ponaganset

In 2024, Salvo swung a blistering .518, hammering 11 home runs and driving in 34 runs while crossing the plate 30 times herself, with her bat being a constant menace to pitchers across the state.
