With the spring season now in full swing, it is time to take a look at some of the top high school softball players in the state of Wisconsin and let you vote on who you think is the best of the best at their position.

We will start with the hard-throwing pitchers, including a strong, talented variety of players from throughout the state.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in Wisconsin, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive! Tag us on X or Instagram at @SBLiveWI 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 an infielder or outfielder 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)
