TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Florida State softball's Michaela Edenfield was named to USA Softball's Player of the Year Top 50 Watch List on Wednesday afternoon. This is Edenfield's first time she has appeared on USA Softball's Player of the Year Watch Lists.

Edenfield continued to display her power in 2023 as she led the team in both home runs (13) and RBI (53). She played in 68 out of the Seminoles' 69 games in 2023 and made 64 starts mostly at the catcher position. Edenfield was phenomenal in the Women's College World Series as she hit home runs against Oklahoma State and Tennessee and also recorded a hit in four out of the five games in Oklahoma City to earn a spot on the WCWS All-Tournament Team. The redshirt junior out of Sneads, Fla., shined when it mattered most and came up big in clutch moments throughout the season. 25 out of Edenfields 39 hits in 2023 resulted in a run being scored for the Noles.

The top 25 finalists for the USA Softball Player of the Year award will be announced on May 1 with the list dwindling to 10 athletes on May 15, five athletes on May 15 and the winner being announced prior to the Women's College World Series.

The Seminoles open up the regular season on Feb. 8 against Charlotte at the Seminole Softball Complex.
