OU Lands All-Pac 12 Transfer Torres

NORMAN — Oklahoma head softball coach Patty Gasso announced the addition of transfer infielder Alynah Torres from Arizona State on Thursday.

"We are thrilled to add Alynah to our program," said Gasso. "She brings experience, power and a passion for the game that fits perfectly with the Sooners. I can't wait to see her in an Oklahoma uniform."

Torres, an All-Pac 12 and NFCA All-Region selection as a junior shortstop in 2022, comes to Norman with two years of eligibility remaining. The Glendale, Ariz., product made 131 starts in three seasons with the Sun Devils.

"I chose OU for so many reasons—the tradition and legacies that people have left here and the sisterhood that is always being talked about," said Torres on joining the Sooners. "Coach Gasso is one of the best, if not the best coach in the country and the way she establishes amazing athletes but even better humans is what brought me to OU."

In 2022, she hit .339 with 16 home runs, 14 doubles and 40 RBIs, helping ASU to a Pac-12 title and NCAA Super Regional appearance. Over her career in Tempe, Torres batted .326 with 37 home runs and 105 RBIs.

"I'm stoked to play with this team for the next two years," continued Torres. "They are the best of the best and I can't wait to meet all of the amazing people that I can learn and grow from to make me the best version of myself. I'm ready to go, it's going to be fun."

Torres joins fellow transfer Alex Storako, a right-handed pitcher from Michigan, in choosing the back-to-back reigning national champions. Oklahoma capped a record-breaking 2022 season with the program's sixth national title in early June, finishing the season 59-3.
