Softball player of the year race is wide open … Your top ten choices heading to the playoffs

I put this list together in no particular order and the names can change depending on what happens over the next several weeks because playoffs have a habit of changing everything. You never know who gets hot and carries their team in the playoffs. But with a week to go before the postseason, this is what I came up with for the top ten MVP choices. Chino Hills, St. Lucy’s and Bishop Amat are clearly the top three teams and have other players to be considered. There are other players having great individual seasons that could have been mentioned as well, so if you think we missed someone, let us know … I’ll do a baseball top ten on Monday.
