MaxPreps and Extra Inning Softball have partnered to elevate high school softball coverage with the introduction of the MaxPreps & Extra Inning Softball Golden Awards.

What is the Golden Glove Award?

Defense is a critical part of the game, and the Golden Glove Award honors the most skilled defensive players in high school softball. While offensive numbers often grab headlines, game-changing defensive plays can define a team’s success. This award ensures that elite fielders receive the recognition they deserve.

Starting every other Monday, March 17 – June 13 the top 25 defensive players from each region will be featured in the High School Rankings. To qualify, athletes must:

• Maintain a perfect fielding percentage – 1.000
• Each region has its own set of qualifications—see the criteria below for each specific region.

Regional Standouts

Extra Inning Softball divides the country into six distinct regions—Northeast, Southeast, Midwest, Southwest, Mountain, and West—to ensure balanced and comprehensive coverage of the top fastpitch softball players nationwide.
