Oklahoma’s Jocelyn Alo earns National Player of the Week from the NFCA

After a monster week that saw her hit over .600, home run queen Jocelyn Alo earned NFCA national player of the week honors.

Jocelyn Alo continues to create new standards for hitting in college softball. On an Oklahoma Sooners team in the midst of another historic run in the 2022 season, Alo’s taken her game to another level.

For her play last week against Tulsa and Texas Tech, Alo was named Louisville Slugger/NFCA Division I Player of the Week.

In four games she hit .615 (8-for-13) with five home runs and eight RBIs, finishing with six extra-base hits for a 1.846 SLG%. Mixed in that flurry of statistical dominance was a three-homer game in game one of their three-game sweep of the Red Raiders. Suprisingly, that was her first career game with three home runs according to SoonerSports.com.

 

She now has 109 home runs in her career and continues to set a new all-time mark with every long ball. Alo dominated opposing pitching in every fashion and she and her teammates look so locked in it’s hard to believe her production will slow down anytime soon.

This is the third time Alo’s been selected as the National Player of the Week. Alo and the Sooners look to continue their historic undefeated season as they with aΒ  Top 20 showdown April 14-16 with the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas.

Jocelyn Alo named Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player of the Week after huge weekend

After a huge weekend in Houston that included five home runs, Jocelyn Alo was named the Louisville Slugger/NFCA Player of the week.

With five home runs in Houston over the weekend, Jocelyn Alo tied Lauren Chamberlain’s all-time home run record with her 95th career home run. Just 10 games into the 2022 season, Alo more than likely will break the record this weekend in California.

After a big weekend, Jocelyn Alo was named the Louisville Slugger/NFCA player of the week.

It’s the second time in her Sooners career that she’s won the award, but it hasn’t happened since March 27, 2018. Alo’s been on a tear to start the season, hitting .500 in 30 at-bats over the first ten games of the season and leads the Sooners in total bases and RBIs.

It’s an incredible feat to have 18 runs batted in in 10 games and is a testament to the Sooners’ depth up and down the lineup. Teams can’t pitch around her because of the success that Kinzie Hansen has had at the plate as well.

That depth makes the Sooners incredibly difficult to beat and now they have the pitching to match. They haven’t allowed an earned run in the 2022 season.

With five games coming this weekend in the Mary Nutter Classic in California, it’s incredibly likely that she’ll break Chamberlain’s record this weekend in fewer games than it took the Sooners legend to set the all-time home run record.
