IndyStar launches public poll to recognise top Indiana high school softball performers for the week of 4–9 May
The publication highlights individual statistics including shutouts and home runs while acknowledging the previous week's winner
IndyStar has released its official selection of high school softball players of the week for the period of 4–9 May. The initiative recognises individual achievements across the state, highlighting specific statistics such as pitching shutouts, home runs, and batting averages.
Readers are invited to participate in a public poll to select their own top performers, with submissions due by noon on Friday. The announcement also acknowledges Kaitlyn Threlkel of Tippecanoe Valley as the player of the week for the preceding period.
The previous week's honouree, Threlkel, highlighted her performance with a 12th-inning walk-off homer against John Glenn. She finished the game with three hits and concluded the week with six hits, two home runs, and five RBIs.
The current list covers the week of 4–9 May and details various standout efforts. Among the performers noted are Adams, who constructed three excellent pitching outings totaling 46 strikeouts, and Dent, who notched a hit and three RBIs against Westfield before going 3-for-4 with a home run in a narrow loss to Fishers.
Further recognition is given to Dillon, who finished the week 3-1 in the circle with 21 strikeouts and a 1.90 ERA over 22 innings, while also going 8-for-11 at the plate with three home runs. Feczko is highlighted for throwing a couple of shutouts, including a three-hitter against Roncalli, and returning two days later with another three-hit shutout in a five-inning win over Carmel.
The article notes that specific names of the players selected for the 4–9 May week are detailed within the full coverage, though the primary mechanism for reader engagement remains the open poll. Voting details regarding the specific platform are not provided in the source material, but the deadline stands firm at noon on Friday.
