We had 33 softball players named as Player of the Year nominees. We have now whittled that down to 7 finalists. These players are locked in for the final vote by our internal BLITZ voting panel. But now, we chose select individuals (ones who barely missed our cut for POY finalist) to be up for a LAST FINALIST FAN VOTE. Use the link, or scroll below to vote on the LAST FINALIST to join the others to be up for the final vote.
