Sooners Add All-American Haley Lee

NORMAN — Oklahoma head softball coach Patty Gasso announced Thursday the addition of All-American graduate transfer Haley Lee from Texas A&M.

Lee, a two-time NFCA All-American and 2022 First Team All-SEC selection, made 189 starts in four seasons for the Aggies and holds a career batting average of .365 with 47 home runs, 36 doubles and 130 RBIs.

"Haley is a competitor and has proven to be one of the best in the game," said Gasso. "Her style fits perfectly here and we couldn't be more excited to have her as part of our program."

The Kingwood, Texas, product is a two-time USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year top-25 finalist and led Texas A&M in batting average, home runs and RBIs in 2022, hitting .405 with 15 home runs and 45 RBIs, helping the Aggies reach the regional round of the NCAA tournament. As a junior in 2021, Lee set Texas A&M single-season records in home runs (25) and slugging percentage (.955), finishing tied for first in the SEC and third in the country in home runs.

"Taking this step was something I didn't take lightly," said Lee. "I knew it was a big step, but I also knew it would be a great challenge. This team is always competing and fighting to be great. Getting to be part of that culture is why I picked OU."

Lee received her bachelor's degree in sports management at Texas A&M and will have one year of eligibility in Norman. She joins fellow OU transfer additions Cydney Sanders (ASU), Alex Storako (Michigan) and Alynah Torres (ASU) for 2023.

Oklahoma capped a record-breaking 2022 season with the program's sixth and second consecutive national title, finishing the season 59-3.
