Big 12 Softball Media Days are just around the corner, and we here at Heartland College Sports are here to get you all the information you need for tuning in.
This season, the Big 12 Softball will feature two virtual media day shows and a season preview show.
Big 12 Softball Media Days will be broadcast live on Wednesday, Jan. 28, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. CT and Thursday, Jan. 29, from 10-11:30 a.m. CT on ESPN+, BYUTV, Big 12 Studios, and the Conference’s YouTube channel.
BYUTV’s Spencer Linton, who has done an incredible job with their coverage of both BYU and the conference as a whole, will host the two-day broadcast alongside Cat Osterman and Rachel Becker, who will help out as analysts.
Osterman was named a three-time Collegiate Player of the Year from USA Softball and also holds the most wins, strikeouts, shutouts, and lowest ERA in league history. During her softball career, she earned a gold and two silver medals representing Team USA in the 2004, 2008, and 2020 Olympics.
Becker, a recent Big 12 grad, started her playing career at Purdue, where she spent three seasons with the Boilermakers before joining Oklahoma State in 2023. She led the Conference in batting (.443), while ranking within the nation’s top 10 in hits (81, sixth), on-base percentage (.558, eighth), and doubles per game (.35, ninth). Becker helped OSU outlast Oregon in the 2023 Stillwater Super Regional to advance to its fourth consecutive NCAA Women’s College World Series, according to the official release.
Big 12 fans, softball season is nearly here, and we can’t wait to provide all of the coverage you need at Heartland College Sports!
