Over several weeks in May, Line Drive Media published the 2029 Line Drive HOT 100 player rankings according to the following schedule (click on the blue links to access the player bio write-ups & head shots for that day):

• #’s 100-91 (Mon., May 11, 2026)
• #’s 90-81 (Tue., May 12, 2026)
• #’s 80-71 (Wed., May 13, 2026)

• #’s 10-1 (Sat. May 30, 2026)

Today we look at the players just on the verge of breaking into this elite HOT 100 range: the prospects who are “on the bubble,” meaning they have been recommended to be followed and evaluated for the next 2029 update.

These are the athletes we feel have the potential to be Line Drive HOT 100 talent in the future – and we will track them moving forward.

If you are a 2029 softball player or know one who should be “put in the system” to be considered, fill a Nomination Form by clicking HERE.

Each player nominated will added to our player database and followed from hereon!
