Gabbie Garcia, Ella Parker, Kai Minor, and Kendall Wells earned All-SEC first team selections, while Abby Dayton, Isabela Emerling, and Audrey Lowry were selected to the second team. Garcia and Parker were named to the All-SEC defensive team. Wells also earned SEC Freshman of the Year.

Kendall Wells has put together a historic season for the Sooners, setting the record for most home runs in a season for an SEC freshman, most home runs by an Oklahoma Sooner, and is on the verge of breaking the NCAA single-season home run record, a mark that's stood for more than 30 years. She's hit 36 home runs to go along with 79 RBIs.

After leading the Sooners with 20 home runs in 2025, Garcia exceeded that total with 22 home runs in 2026 to go along with 68 RBIs this season. She's hitting .393 on the year and has been excellent at shortstop with just four errors on 128 chances this season.

Parker is also having the best year of her three-year career at Oklahoma. She's set new career marks in home runs (21) and RBIs (66) while also putting together an excellent season as the Sooners' everyday right fielder.

Kai Minor has become the Sooners' primary lead-off hitter. She was a bright spot in Oklahoma's 10-5 loss to Georgia on Thursday night, going 3-for-4 with two doubles, a home run, and an RBI. She leads the team with a .446 batting average and is tied with Ella Parker for the team lead in doubles with 15. Minor has also hit nine home runs and recorded 41 RBIs on the season.

Emerling's had a sensational season for the Sooners with 18 home runs, 58 RBIs, and a batting average of .395 on the year. Dayton has hit eight home runs and driven in 42 as a key part of the back end of the Sooners' lineup.

Audrey Lowry has turned into the team's ace in 2026, logging 114 innings pitched, the most by an OU pitcher and posting a 21-3 record on the season. Lowry was Oklahoma's Game 1 pitcher during their SEC series and will be the go-to arm for the Sooners in the postseason.
