A few things I noticed. Bahl and Trautwine on the 2nd team but no May.
No Grace Lyons. Alway surprised at how little respect she gets nationally. Do they really think Sydney McKinney at Wichita State is a better short stop?
Also Miranda Elish on...

I do not understand how Grace Lyons is the 2021 Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year AND has better offensive statistics, yet every publication ranks Kiley Naomi ahead of her?? I feel she gets punished because OU has the #1 ranked catcher, #1 ranked...
Each year the Sooner softball lineup on opening day usually has a surprise or two. Looking back over the years many things change from that opening day lineup by the time May arrives.
Here is a review:
2016:
1. Aviu RF
2. Pendley CF
3. Romero 3B
4....

Question for Believer....will you be able to share your game previews with us like you did last year? or just do after game thoughts?
Have really enjoyed your all your takes on things before and after.... :)
Their game at Kentucky on March 22nd at 7 PM will be on the SEC Network. This game is not on the Sooner Softball Schedule page as of now.
The OSU at OU series will be on TV on Thursday, Friday and...

As in past years, There will be many games added to this for the season. Last year I was able to watch about 60-70% of the games in one way or another.
SoonerSports.tv (and often BallySports OK) will televise many of the games that they own rights...
Since I started following OU softball around the time PG was hired and without the patience to spend the time looking, how many 2 way players do people remember? The main ones I remember are Ricketts and Parker. N Mendez, G Casey and I think N...
I think that there are 68 days until the first game of season
:ou:
Game 1 will be on February 10th in the Mark Campbell Invitational against UC Santa Barbara
I think these are stats on our first opponent

I suspect even Gasso doesn’t “know” who her #1 is. She has a returning #2 in May. A new-coming #1 from another (admittedly lower quality) program who, in Gasso’s own words, “gave us a really hard time every time we faced her”. And the #1 pitching...
The Sooner Softballers are the unanimous #1 ranked team in the Coaches Poll. All four major pols ranked OU #1 with the ESPN/USA poll also being unanimous.
Here is the OU Staff article about the Coaches Poll.

Win or lose, I am looking forward to that game. It is early so both teams will be rusty. Too bad ESPN isn't broadcasting that one
While doing a little research on our schedule this year, I was on the Mississippi St team page and reading Samantha Ricketts bio. One of the paragraphs is:
At the conclusion of her four-year Oklahoma playing career in 2009, Ricketts was the record...

Since 2007, we always had at least 2 of these players on our roster. 4 of those years, we had 3 of those players. In 2013, we had 4 of those players.
2013 Chamberlain(30), Pendley(22), Ricketts(12), Shults(7). This is the year that Shults was sick...
Softball America – Top 100 D1 College Players for 2022
Two subscription-based websites, Extra Innings Softball and Softball America has released their Top 100 Players for the 2022 D1 College Softball Season. I shared the EIS rankings last week....
Last post
Softball America rankings were much more reflective or reality than EIS and others who seem to be in a geographical and university diversity program more than just who's the best. Alo #1, Jennings #3, Coleman #9, Hansen #12, Bahl #24, and on it went.
The Oklahoma Sooners 2022 Softball team has an offense that everyone knows about and everyone outside of Norman looks at and wonders how they can slow down effectively. Especially beyond playing them in one game.
What is new for the Sooners in 2022...

Thank you Believer for all your amazingly detailed analytics. They are always a very enjoyable and educational read!
I really hope McAdoo can develop this year.....maybe as a middle inning relief pitcher ? Would be nice to have that fourth pitcher...
If you read the article, you will find these players on the team:
2022 Big 12 Softball Preseason Team
Name, School Pos. Cl. Hometown
Mikayla Ramos, Iowa State C Sr. Riverside, Calif.
Jocelyn Alo, Oklahoma Utility Sr. Hauula, Hawaii
Jayda Coleman,...

And while I'm at it, I seem to remember OU trailing late in the WCWS Championship series last year and Alo came to the plate. She hammered a shot that still hasn't landed and got the Sooners rolling to come back and win the series. So she's a clutch...
