Is Your 2026 or 2027 Player Committed or Uncommitted? Here’s how we can help!

When it comes to recruiting, visibility is everything. At Extra Inning Softball, we’re committed to giving athletes every opportunity to be recognized—whether they’re announcing a commitment or still searching for the right fit.

That’s why we’ve built two powerful tools on our website: the Master Verbal Database and our dedicated Getting on the Radar: Uncommitted Platform.

As a Player, these resources can help you navigate the recruiting process. Additionally, these resources aren’t just for athletes and families—they’re a vital tool for college coaches actively searching for their next recruit.

Small Yellow X

With the Master Verbal Database, coaches can instantly see which players have already committed, saving valuable time and energy in the recruiting process.

Paired with our Uncommitted Lists, this combination gives coaches a clear picture of the recruiting landscape, allowing them to identify prospects more efficiently and connect with athletes who are still available.


The Master Verbal Database

The Master Verbal Database is Extra Inning Softball’s comprehensive commitment tracker, featuring thousands of athletes from across the country. Updated regularly, the database serves as a one-stop destination for who’s committed, where they’re headed, and when they made their decision.

As a dedicated Player, you can track your journey to success.

From Power Five programs to mid-majors and NAIA schools, the Master Verbal Database connects players, families, and coaches with verified recruiting news. It’s the most trusted and extensively curated database in fastpitch softball, ensuring no commitment goes unnoticed.

📌 Parents and Coaches of committed athletes: Want your player included?
👉 Complete our “I Committed” form HERE to add their name to the Master Verbal Database and have them spotlighted in an official feature story.

Highlighting Uncommitted Athletes

Just as important are the players who haven’t yet committed. Our Getting on the Radar: Uncommitted Platform live on a dedicated page at ExtraInningSoftball.com, where coaches can quickly find athletes by class and position.

This platform is designed to help each Player maximize their recruitment potential.

Each profile highlights key details that recruiters look for, from grad year to primary positions, and keeps the spotlight on those still waiting for their opportunity.

We also publish feature stories on standout uncommitted athletes, giving them the same recognition and visibility as their committed peers.

We understand every Player’s experience is unique and valuable.

Announce Your Commitment

For athletes ready to share their big news, Extra Inning Softball provides a professional, editorial-style Commitment Spotlight. These stories give players the recognition they deserve, while also serving as an official announcement for family, teammates, and college coaches to celebrate.

Our commitment features often include player stats, quotes, photos, and future goals—crafted to tell the full story behind the decision.

📌 Committed recently?

Why It Matters

Recruiting isn’t one-size-fits-all. Some players commit early, while others take more time to find the right program. Both paths are valid, and both deserve recognition. By combining the Master Verbal Database with our Uncommitted Platform, Extra Inning Softball ensures that no athlete is overlooked in the recruiting conversation.

College coaches know they can trust our resources for accuracy, while players and families gain peace of mind knowing their journeys are visible to the people who matter most.


Every Journey Deserves a Spotlight

At the end of the day, every athlete’s journey looks different—but each one deserves to be celebrated. Whether your player is proudly announcing a commitment or still waiting for the right opportunity, Extra Inning Softball is here to make sure their story is seen, heard, and valued.

By submitting your information today, you ensure your athlete gets the spotlight they’ve earned while opening doors for the future that lies ahead.

Every Player deserves the chance to shine in their own way.
