We've posted the first 50 of the outstanding players in the 2020 Hot 100 and are using the halfway point to look at some early trends.

If you missed this week's rankings, you can see 100-91, 90-81, 80-71, 70-61, and 60-51 exclusively on FloSoftball!

It's always fun to look at where things stand one week in with this week's Top 50 yet to be revealed.

Here are some interesting developments so far… we'll see how it goes when all 100 are revealed!
