EXTRA INNING SOFTBALL HIGH SCHOOL PLAYER OF THE YEAR:

SR. P/IF ASHLEY ROGERS (MEIGS COUNTY, TENNESSEE)

What goes into selecting a National Player of the Year?

Dominating stats, yes. Successful individual and team seasons, for sure (it helps if the player leads her team into the playoffs or, better yet, captures a championship).

And if there's something special that adds to the story, then that can push it over the top.

That was the case for our selection this year in choosing Ashley Rogers, the outstanding pitcher/infielder from Tennessee who's made everyone's 1st Team All-American list, including ours as a Multi-Purpose Player, as well as lists published by USA Today and MaxPreps.

She also finished her record-setting career as a two-time Gatorade Player of the Year and Tennessee Miss Softball, a three-time Tennessee State champion and a three-time All-State honoree.

Ashley was also chosen as a PGF All-American and will play in the PGF All-American Game on July 27 after her week with the Tennessee Fury Premier team ends.

Ashley is also ranked by Extra Inning Softball as one of the Top 15 of the Extra Elite 100 for the 2018 class as far as being a top college prospect. She's legitimately one of the top pitchers not just at the high school level, but in club ball too and this past Sunday helped her Fury team finish 3rd at the Boulder IDT.
