Rhode Island high school softball’s top pitchers in 2025: Vote for the best
With the spring season officially here, it’s time to highlight the top high school softball players in Rhode Island.
Fans will get an opportunity to vote on who they think is the best at their respective positions.
There are hundreds of outstanding players in Rhode Island, and these lists are not intended to be comprehensive. Let us know about other athletes worthy of fans’ attention.
Note: Some players may excel at multiple positions. Do not be alarmed to see an outfielder, a catcher or an infielder on this list, as we try to get as many players as possible.
Editor’s note: Our corresponding poll is intended to be fun, and we do not set limits on how many times a fan can vote during the competition. This poll is specifically for fans to vote on the players that have been nominated and in no way discredits any other player that may not be mentioned in our poll.
Voting ends Thursday, May 8 at 11:59 PM ET
The Marist commitment has been the state’s top pitcher this season and she’s got the numbers to back it up. Vigneau, a junior, is currently 7-0 with a 1.00 earned run average and 57 strikeouts. The junior pitches for the top team out of Rhode Island.
Another junior dynamo that’s been red hot on the mound this season is Doster for Tiverton. The pitcher is perfect so far through her eight appearances, sitting at 8-0 with a 1.72 earned run average and striking out 52 batters.

Boundreau joins the group of talented juniors on this list that have really shown out this season. Playing for one of the state’s better ball clubs, the junior hurler is 4-0 with a 1.17 earned run average and has struck out 56 batters.
Just a sophomore, Jeannenot is the lone underclassmen on this list and her numbers speak for themselves. Chariho’s ace pitcher is with 4-1 record, 1.91 ERA and 62 strikeouts.
North Kingstown’s ace pitcher is another junior that’s impressed this spring. Amedeo this season is 4-1 with a 2.88 ERA and 44 strikeouts.
It’s a junior-laden class of pitchers on this list and we continue with another in Dombeck, who takes the mound nightly for Patriots. Dombeck owns a record of 7-0 on the season with a 2.19 earned run average and has fanned 41 batters this spring.

The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside.
A car carrying a family of three went into the Seekonk River in Rhode Island Sunday evening, authorities said.
The vehicle entered the river near the Taft Street boat ramp shortly before 7:30 p.m., Pawtucket Police Chief Tina Goncalves said in a statement.
A bystander riding a jet ski heard the car dive into the water and attempted to help, while another witness called 911, according to Goncalves.
First responders arrived within three minutes of the emergency call, Goncalves noted.
The vehicle’s three occupants are believed to still be inside, The Boston Globe reported.
Recovery efforts resumed Monday, with Pawtucket police and fire personnel working alongside Rhode Island State Police and other state agencies to remove the vehicle from the river, Goncalves said.
“Conditions are extremely challenging for dive teams due to the strong current and poor underwater visibility,” she added.
A video released by the Globe shows the car being recovered from the water Monday afternoon.
Authorities have not released the identities or conditions of the occupants.
“We ask that you please keep the family and their loved ones in your prayers as our first responders continue recovery efforts,” Goncalves said.
