High school softball is back as some states took the field this week to begin their Spring 2026 seasons!

With it’s return, we kick off our annual series of honoring the players who get it done on the field in our Line Drive Softball High School Player of the Week series!

Our first honoree this year will be announced on Tuesday, Feb. 24 and will be based on outstanding performances this week (Feb. 9-15) and next (Feb. 16-22). 

Every Tuesday for the next several months we’ll honor top performances across the country so if you or someone you know would like to have a player considered, here’s how to do it…
