Here are the 2024 Lexington All-City softball teams and players of the year

The Lexington Herald-Leader and Kentucky.com are proud to present the 2024 All-City Softball Team and players of the year as voted on by the eight high school coaches of Lexington’s varsity KHSAA programs.

This year, Lexington Catholic’s Abby Hammond and Bryan Station’s Karsyn Rockvoan tied atop the list of All-City First Team selections, making them co-honorees as Lexington players of the year. Each got three of the coaches’ eight player of the year votes.

This is the second city player of the year honor for Hammond and the first for Rockvoan.

Hammond, a junior committed to Kentucky, is the Knights’ lone pitcher with a 25-2 record, 255 strikeouts and an earned run average of 0.53, the lowest in the state. She is also LexCath’s best hitter with a .597 average, 13 home runs, 38 runs and 38 RBI.

Rockvoan, a sophomore, went 14-7 this season with 274 strikeouts and an ERA of 1.75 in helping the Defenders claim the 42nd District championship for the first time in program history.

Tates Creek’s Tinley Easton, a senior shortstop signed with Minnesota, received two player of the year votes and joined Hammond and Rockvoan on the First Team. Other First Team players are Lafayette’s Jenna Wells, Frederick Douglass’s Haley McGuire and Aaliyah Long, Tates Creek’s Madison Hill, Bryan Station’s Michelle Moore and Tiahna Bowman and Lexington Christian’s Anna Gorshak.

Lexington’s eight varsity softball coaches were asked to nominate players for All-City consideration. Later, the coaches ranked, one through 10, their top players from that list of nominees. They were not permitted to vote for their own players.

Selections were made regardless of position and each team was limited to a maximum of five all-city honorees. Point values were assigned to each voting position (10 points for first-place votes, nine points for second-place votes, etc.) and the accumulation of those points was used to create the First and Second Teams.
