Torres Named Big 12 Player of the Week

March 26, 2024 | Softball

NORMAN – Oklahoma Softball utility player Alynah Torres has been named Big 12 Player of the Week following an impressive week at the plate, the conference announced Tuesday.
 
Torres led the league in home runs, RBIs, total bases and slugging percentage while helping the Sooners to a 4-0 week that included a Big 12 sweep of No. 19/22 Baylor. The senior went 5-for-8 (.625) with four home runs, 10 RBIs and four runs scored while slashing .625/.700/2.125 for a 2.825 OPS. She drew a pair of walks and reached on an error as part of her terrific performance, reaching in eight of her 10 plate appearances. In the field, Torres was a perfect 14-for-14 on her chances across second base, first base and right field.
 
The fifth-year senior produced three multi-RBI efforts alongside two multi-hit games across the week. Torres' weekly honor is the first of her career and marks the third consecutive season that OU has earned a Big 12 Player of the Week honor in three straight weeks.
 
Tuesday's honor punctuates an incredible 19-game stretch that has seen Torres slash .526/.609/1.053 for a 1.662 OPS alongside six home runs, two doubles and 17 RBIs. She has reached base in 18 of those 19 games, drawing eight walks and striking out just once in 46 plate appearances.
 
OU has earned 109 Big 12 Player of the Week honors under head coach Patty Gasso.
