As promised, here’s a look at a list of top freshman softball players from the 2024 season from around the state that likely will be making all-state teams down the road. This isn’t an all-state team since the same format as the others can’t be duplicated, but it’s as close as we can get. These also are not recruiting lists or Class of 2027 player rankings but some of the players are highly regarded.

Notes: As mentioned in the other posts about all-state sophomores and all-state juniors, this is not a Class of 2027 recruiting list. These are all players listed below who “did something” in varsity games during the season. Travel ball accomplishments or stats were seen in some cases, but were not sought out. Other players will emerge down the road as they get more high school varsity playing time, especially at the stronger CIF Southern Section programs.
