University of Mississippi softball player Kylan Becker, along with her teammates, just returned home from the NCAA Super Regionals in Tucson, Arizona, concluding the Rebels’ 2019 season with the second-most wins in program history, and is off to play for the Houston Scrap Yard Dawgs for the remainder of the summer.
With only a single error in her entire collegiate softball career, Becker became Ole Miss’ single-season record holder in runs scored during Game 7 of the Oxford Regional, where she earned her place on the National Fastpitch Coaches Association All-South Region Teams, earning her second career nod and first selection to the First Team.
During her junior year, she became the first player in Ole Miss history to be selected to the U.S. National Team, competing for Team USA at the Japan All-Star Series in Tokyo.
Professional softball players can play well into their 30s, but as a summer sport, the game affords players the opportunity to build a career off the field. For Becker, that career will involve helping athletes.
