The NCAA’s all-time home run leader, [autotag]Jocelyn Alo[/autotag], is looking to add another trophy to the mantle. Alo was named as one of the final three finalists for the 2022 USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year Award.
Is she wins, Alo would be the fifth player to win the award in back to back seasons.
She certainly has a strong case.
Nationally, Alo is ranked second in batting average, third in home runs, first in slugging percentage and first in on base percentage.
With each passing season, Alo seems to reset the standard for hitting in collegiate softball. The redshirt senior has set new career highs in batting average and walks this season.
