Former Oklahoma star Jocelyn Alo decided to play for WPF last year after setting the home run record for Division I softball. WPF started last year with two teams playing the traditional team style. Both seasons crown individual champions based on a point system. This year will feature a short season called AUX that runs June 12-27 in Rosemont, Illinois, and a regular season that runs July 28 to August 27. This is the fourth year for Athletes Unlimited softball. Oklahoma’s Alex Storako and Haley Lee, Florida State’s Kathryn Sandercock, Oklahoma State’s Rachel Becker and Kiley Naomi and Alabama’s Montana Fouts were drafted by both but have not signed. Washington’s Baylee Klingler, Kentucky’s Kayla Kowalik, Arkansas’ Chenise Delce, Florida’s Charla Echols and Northwestern’s Jordyn Rudd all picked WPF. “I just felt like AU was a better fit for me at this time.” “I think either way, it’s really cool to see people still playing this sport and continuing to grow the sport that I love so much,” Faraimo said. Neither league existed when Faraimo started her college career during the 2018-19 school year. She knew some of the players from the Team USA program that were with Athletes Unlimited and she liked what she saw when she watched its games on ESPN last year. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - Former UCLA softball star Megan Faraimo was one of 12 players with the option of choosing between two professional leagues after being drafted by both.įaraimo chose Athletes Unlimited over Women’s Professional Fastpitch.
