Oklahoma State softball roster, schedule: Meet coach Kenny Gajeski's 2025 OSU Cowgirls
Scott WrightThe Oklahoman
STILLWATER — Kenny Gajewski boasted about the depth he has on his Oklahoma State softball team, and based on past performance, it’s hard to argue with him.
As Gajewski enters his 10th season coaching the Cowgirls, and they seek a sixth straight appearance at the Women’s College World Series, the roster is loaded with players who have proven they can contribute.
The Cowgirls return five position players and brought in five veteran transfers, all of whom look to be in the lineup regularly.
The 22-player roster has no holes, with nearly everyone likely to contribute on some level.
Here’s a breakdown of the Cowgirl roster by position:
Pitchers
Ruby Meylan, Jr.
An All-American as a freshman in 2023, Meylan comes to OSU after two stellar seasons at Washington where she had a 2.31 ERA with 343 strikeouts over 303 ⅔ innings pitched. The 6-foot right-hander is expected to step into the ace role atop the pitching rotation.RyLee Crandall, Jr.
The second notable transfer on the pitching staff, Crandall compiled a 37-15 record with five saves over 73 appearances in two seasons at Baylor. She had a 3.13 ERA with 197 strikeouts over 286 innings.Kyra Aycock, Jr.
Aycock’s sophomore season had some bumps in the road, but she finished strong, which provides hope that she can be a reliable arm to eat innings behind Meylan and Crandall. For her career, Aycock has a 16-5 record and 3.00 ERA with opponents batting .258 against her over 171 ⅓ innings.Katie Kutz, So.
Ranked as a top-10 recruit in the 2023 class, according to Softball America, Kutz battled the learning curve of college softball last year, finishing with a 3-0 record and 3.69 ERA over 24 ⅔ innings.Kathryn Ogg, Sr.
The veteran right-hander remains an important piece of the pitching staff, despite limited in-game opportunities.Madison Hoffman, Fr.
One of only two freshmen on the roster, Hoffman had a 1.23 ERA with 122 strikeouts in 91 ⅓ innings as a senior at Blue Springs South High School in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. She is out for the year with an injury.Catchers
Amanda Hasler, Jr.
Another heralded transfer, Hasler started 103 games at catcher over the past two seasons at North Carolina State. As a sophomore last year, she batted .351 with 18 home runs and 45 RBIs with a .444 on-base percentage.Audrey Schneidmiller, RJr.
Schneidmiller appeared in 23 games with 14 starts as the Cowgirls’ backup catcher last season, batting .257 with a .350 on-base percentage. After a solid fall performance, she could be in line for additional at-bats this spring.nfielders
Karli Godwin, So.
Last year’s biggest breakout player, Godwin set the OSU record for home runs by a freshman with 15, to go with 51 RBIs and .340 batting average while playing solid defense at first base. She was named first-team All-Big 12 and collected All-American honors from a couple of organizations. She’ll remain a key piece in the heart of the batting order.Rosie Davis, So.
While Godwin gobbled up the headlines, Davis’ emergence as a freshman was just about as impressive. She batted .333 with a .420 on-base percentage and 20 extra-base hits. She’ll be back at second base where she had a .966 fielding percentage last year.Megan Bloodworth, Sr.
A wizard with her glove, Bloodworth smoothly made the move from third base to shortstop last year, and will be back in that position this season. Though her batting average dipped to .185 last season, her slugging percentage jumped almost 80 points to .353 and she knocked in 25 runs at the bottom of the order.
Tallen Edwards, Jr.
Edwards moved back to the infield at third base after playing left field as a freshman, and is set to stick there after the Cowgirls turned in a top-15 season in team fielding percentage. Though her batting average dropped to .299 last year, her on-base and slugging percentages increased. And she remained excellent at putting the ball in play with just 12 strikeouts over 195 plate appearances.Micaela Wark, RJr.
With a series of knee injuries limiting her ability to play in the field, Wark will be a regular at the designated player spot. Described by coach Kenny Gajewski as a “professional hitter,” Wark fought through knee pain last year to hit 11 home runs and drive in 30 runs with a .399 on-base percentage.Sophie Page, Sr.
Page is a valuable bench player, providing defensive depth in the middle infield and the ability to be used as a pinch-hitter or pinch-runner. She batted .364 in limited opportunities last year.
Outfielders
Megan Delgadillo, Sr.*
While most of OSU’s transfer portal buzz has been focused on the pitchers, Delgadillo’s value will be just as high. A late addition to the class, she fills multiple important needs as a veteran base-stealer who can hit at the top of the order and play center field. She was 44 of 44 on stolen bases last year, one fewer steal than the entire OSU roster had.Claire Timm, Jr.
A player of many nicknames — from Claire-Bear to Timm Reaper and beyond — Timm burst onto the scene batting .324 with 10 home runs and 30 RBIs as a regular starter in either of the corner outfield positions. Though she had rarely played outfield before last season, she adapted quickly and continues to improve.Lexi McDonald, Jr.
Another of last year’s emerging players, McDonald became the regular right fielder down the stretch. Among Cowgirls with at least 25 at-bats, she had the best on-base percentage at .455 and second-best batting average at .349. Between right field and designated player, McDonald should be in the lineup with some regularity, and when she isn’t, she’ll be Gajewski’s first option off the bench as a pinch-hitter.Tia Warsop, So.
The blazing-fast outfielder appeared in 51 games last year, often as a pinch-runner or defensive replacement, but she was 10 for 30 at the plate and a perfect 11 of 11 on stolen bases, leading the Cowgirls in that category. After showing improvement in the fall, Warsop’s role should grow in her sophomore season.Utility players
Rachael Hathoot, Sr.*
The New Mexico transfer competed hard with Bloodworth for the starting job at shortstop, but likely becomes the everyday left fielder, because her bat will keep her in the lineup. And if Gajewski needs a fill-in on the infield, Hathoot is the first option.Macy Graf, Jr.
Graf was an infielder when she arrived from Mississippi State last year, but adjusted to the outfield, where she earned some playing time. Coming off the bench, she offers speed and a reliable bat with the ability to play just about anywhere in the field.Tara Vandewater, Fr.
Rated as a top-10 recruit in the country by Extra Innings Softball, Vandewater hit for average and power, and can play on the infield or help behind the plate. She also has four years of experience in international competition for the Israel National Team.Keeley Johnson, Jr.
A small-town Oklahoma girl from Rattan, Johnson adds bench depth, particularly behind the plate. She batted .362 with 10 home runs and 44 RBIs last year at Eastern Oklahoma State College, earning NJCAA Region 2 Catcher of the Year honors.*Super-senior
