This year’s watch list contains six players who were among the Top 10 finalists for the 2005 Award including Michigan’s Jennie Ritter, Arizona’s Caitlin Lowe and Osterman who were the final three finalists in Oklahoma City.
The list of 50 is as follows (in alphabetical order with class:

- VanBrakle, Stephanie / Chambersburg, PA Alabama Sr. Pitcher
- Vesley, Kristin / Phoenix, AZ Oklahoma Sr. Centerfield
- Zaplatosch, Emily / Scottsdale, AZ UCLA Sr. First Base /Catcher
Wow! What a list. Who do you like? Jennie Ritter has to be one of my favorites but, then again, so does her teammate Samantha Findlay. But how can you count out catcher extraordinaire Emily Zaplatosch? Need I say Cat Osterman? But Monica Abbott is a great pitcher too! And so are Alicia Hollowell and Jeli Selden. My dream infield would have to include Caitlin Benyi. The same can be said for her teammates Jodie Legaspi and Andrea Duran. This is taking nothing from the rest of the list.
I just don't know how the heck anybody is supposed to pick one player from this field and say, "She's the best."
