HOW THE TEAM WAS SELECTED
The Star Tribune’s All-Metro teams and Metro Player of the Year were chosen after ballots were sent to all metro-area coaches. In making the selections, the Star Tribune considered nominations from metro-area coaches, conversations with coaches and staff observations.
The MN Girls Softball Hub poll is based on opinion and for entertainment purposes only.
