2026 Preseason Position Rankings
Every season, Softball America unveils its Top 100 college softball players at each position heading into the season. With the help of our friends at 64Analytics, we’ve used advanced metrics, including FIP (Fielding Independent Pitching: A statistic that estimates a pitcher’s run prevention independent of the performance of their defense) and wRC (Weighted Runs Created: An estimate of the number of runs a player contributes to their team) to help us determine where to rank each player.
