Orange County is considered the hotbed of softball.
The best softball in the world is played weekly in local schools and parks. Having developed some of the greatest softball players of all time, the county continues to dominate the softball recruiting circuit.
As the 2010 high school season starts this week, the county is again loaded with talented players who have made verbal commitments to some of the most prestigious college programs.
