Hey, Line Drive Softball readers, this is Brentt Eads, Executive Editor.

We’re in the process of wrapping up the Class of 2028 player rankings and on Monday (June 3, 2024), we will open up nominations for the 2027 Line Drive Softball Hot 100 rankings.

For our new readers–and maybe some long-time ones who wonder what the ranking system is all about–here’s an article we published in Week 1 (early April 2024) detailing how a pair of teammates enjoying the honor and recognition that can come with the rankings system..

Capri Mark, an outstanding middle infielder, was ranked No. 2 overall in the 2029 Line Drive HOT 100 while her teammate, third baseman Trinity Hargrett was ranked No. 14 overall and No. 1 at the corner infield position.

Here is just some of the attention these two standouts received:

Here’s the point: notice just a small sampling of the great recognition both Capri and Trinity got:

* Capri got over 100 comments on Facebook at that time via a post from her father and on a Twitter post she put up herself, she has over 6,400 views.

* Trinity was honored on Facebook in a post from her mother and she initially received 354 likes and 172 comments of congratulations.

Isn’t that cool for both?

These rankings are to HONOR these athletes and it’s wonderful to see the kudos they receive from family, friends and the softball world.

Why?

Because they are talented and work as hard as any athlete in any sport and they SHOULD be recognized for all they put into it.

Congrats to them for being in the spotlight thanks to their impressive talent and how they work to develop it!
