Indiana high school softball is heating up, and IndyStar is putting the spotlight on the top talent across the state with our latest Players of the Week poll. From April 27 to May 2, a new group of standout athletes has stepped up to the plate—and they need your vote to claim the crown.
Last week, we celebrated Brownsburg freshman Rylee Amt, who earned Player of the Week honors for April 20-25. Amt crushed it at the plate, batting an impressive .667 over four games while also delivering her first career home run—a clutch three-run shot that helped seal a win over Carmel. She drove in six RBIs and struck out eight batters over five innings on the mound. That's the kind of all-around performance that gets fans on their feet.
This week, the action is just as intense. Whether it's a perfectly executed bunt, a diving play at third, or a smooth double-play turn, these players are showing why Indiana softball is a force to be reckoned with. From Westfield's Sofia Easterhaus racing past home plate to Yorktown's Brooklyn Bartle sliding into second, every moment counts. And let's not forget the pitchers like Olivia Jones, who battles through every inning with grit and precision.
Now it's your turn to decide who deserves the spotlight. Scroll down to cast your vote in our poll—but don't wait too long. Voting closes at noon on Friday, so make your voice heard before the final out is called. Whether you're a fan of power hitters, defensive wizards, or crafty pitchers, this week's nominees have something for everyone. Let's see who takes home the title!
