In 2019, she was the Big 12 Player of the Year and was named National Fastpitch Coaches Association First-Team All-American in helping the Sooners to within one game of another championship, before losing to UCLA in the WCWS finals. She also won the Big 12 triple crown, hitting .427 with 20 HRs and 56 RBIs. She led the nation in total bases with 176.
Following her OU journey, Romero was selected third overall in the National Pro Fastpitch League by the USSSA Pride, and played her first professional season in the summer of 2019.
In the spring of 2020, Romero returned to Oklahoma as a student assistant with the softball team.
On this episode of the podcast, we talk to Romero about her incredible softball career, where the softball journey began, what Coach Patty Gasso means to her, how she came to faith in Jesus, walking through her dad’s cancer diagnosis, and her favorite moment as an OU softball player.
