With the exciting spring season completed, it is time to take a look back at some of the top high school softball players in the state of Wisconsin and let you vote on who you think was the best of the best.

We started off with the hard-throwing pitchers, talented outfielders, highly skilled corner infielders, and strong catchers so now it's time to focus on the premier hitters from throughout the state.

There are hundreds of outstanding players in Wisconsin, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive!

Voting remains open until August 7 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
