2018 Hot 100: the “Next 100 In” (3/22)
2018 Hot 100: the “Next 100 In” (3/22)
![2018 Hot 100: the “Next 100 In” (3/22)](https://d2779tscntxxsw.cloudfront.net/3ee8dd3633fcce235b212d595356c278.jpg?width=1200&quality=80)
Today kicks off the fifth class of Full Count Softball Hot 100 lists as we introduce our first ranking of the current freshmen standout softball players – the Class of 2018 – from across the nation.
We started with the 2014 class and proceeded with the 2015, 2016 and 2017 classes (having done an update of the current senior crop, the 15’s). You can access all the lists HERE.
Not surprisingly, the younger we go in evaluating talent, the more difficult it becomes as some players have emerged as standouts already while many more are just starting to hit their stride.
The “Next 100 In”
In this introduction to the 2018 Hot 100 list, we spotlight 100 excellent players from around the country who are have been—and will continue to be—closely watched as we will update the lists in the future.
![Hannah Davis of the Louisville Sluggers is Hot 100 material. She already has an offer and is hearing from Big 10 and SEC schools.](http://assets.flosoftball.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/Hannah-Davis-Louisville-Sluggers-e1427062951526-300x185.jpg)
These players are so close to being in the top group, it’s very likely that several will make the jump when the ’18 list is revised.
Until then, if players, parents and coaches want to refer to these athletes as making the “Full Count Softball Hot 100 rankings, 101-200,” we encourage that!
Players: if you’re on the cusp of making the Hot 100, keep working hard because we will watch you and consider you for inclusion in the next go round (and that DID happen with several seniors who made the revised 2015 Hot 100 list).
How Players are Chosen & Ranked
Full Count Softball has a database of thousands of players we track but, obviously, we can’t see and scout every player. We lean heavily on input from club coaches and college scouts get their input and feedback.
We canvass the nation doing our own research and then get with dozens of the top coaches and scouts to start getting opinions to help us narrow the list down and ultimately rank the players.
As we will freely admit, the process is basically taking a big list and filtering down to a consensus of top players which is an inexact science and we know we’re missing players or haven’t rated some high enough… remember: this is a first effort of listing the 2018’s; it will organically change as time goes on!
