2019 provided so much drama on the diamond, and so many players are deserving of Player of the Year consideration. While only one will go on to win, the following 43 players were nominated for Player of the Year consideration (28 Nominees/15 Honorable Mentions).

WHAT’S NEXT? We will narrow this list down to a finalist pool of 6-7 to be voted on by our internal (NOT public) voting panel to determine the Player of the Year.

WHO NOMINATED THESE PLAYERS? Coaches were all asked for their team’s nominations. If a coach did not respond to the attempts, we used available information/stats from MaxPreps to determine POY candidates.
