- It should be noted that voters and Sports in Kansas did not have access to a Northern Plains League All-League Team or HOPL all-league team at the time of release on 12/8/23. We were told by coaches of the NPL that they did not select all-league in 2023. Players from those leagues are listed and selected but having all-league teams can help influence voters to make the voting process more complete.
