Coleman Named NFCA and Big 12 Player of the Week
April 02, 2024 | Softball
NORMAN – Oklahoma Softball centerfielder Jayda Coleman has been named both NFCA National Player of the Week and Big 12 Player of the Week following a near-perfect week at the top of the Sooners' order, announced by the organization and conference Tuesday.
Coleman reached base in a ridiculous 13 of her 14 plate appearances as top-ranked Oklahoma swept then-No. 24/RV Kansas in Lawrence last weekend, homering three times and drawing seven walks. She went 6-for-7 (.857) and scored eight runs, recording multi-hit efforts in all three games. The OU leadoff hitter slashed .857/.929/2.143 for an OPS mark of 3.072, leading the NCAA in both on-base percentage and slugging.
OU has won Big 12 Player of the Week in four consecutive weeks with four different players earning the honor each week. The Sooners are the only program to have won player-of-the-week honors in four straight weeks and have now done so in back-to-back seasons.
Coleman carries a 22-game on-base streak into the upcoming weekend and has slashed .587/.720/1.217 for a 1.937 OPS across the stretch. Over her last 22 contests she has scored 34 runs and driven in 19 while producing 27 hits, eight home runs and five doubles. Her plate discipline has been nothing short of incredible during her 22-game stretch, striking out just once in 76 plate appearances (1.3%) and walking 26 times (34.2%).
This season, Coleman leads OU with a .466 average and 45 runs scored, adding eight home runs and 27 RBIs. She reaches base at a .589 clip while slugging .818 for a 1.407 OPS and has registered a .560 weighted on-base average (wOBA).
The Big 12 honor is Coleman's fourth career player-of-the-week nod and her first of 2024. Oklahoma has now earned 110 Big 12 Player of the Week honors under head coach Patty Gasso.
