Texas A&M softball didn’t get the postseason finish it wanted, but Mya Perez made sure the Aggies’ season still came with a national spotlight.
Perez, Texas A&M’s junior utility weapon, landed at No. 30 on Softball America’s Top 100 Players list after putting together one of the most feared offensive seasons in the country.
And honestly, opposing pitchers treated her like they knew it long before the awards started rolling in.
They worked around her. They missed off the plate. They took the bat out of her hands whenever they could. But Perez still found ways to turn those chess matches into damage.
That’s what made her season so impressive. It wasn’t just the loud numbers, although those were plenty loud.
Perez hit .414, posted a massive 1.495 OPS, slugged .893 and reached base at a ridiculous .602 clip.
She also finished second on the Aggies with 19 home runs, proving she didn’t need many mistakes to make pitchers pay.
Her discipline became record-setting. Perez drew 31 walks, the most in a single season by any Texas A&M player, and she became the only Division I player this season to reach base in 55 straight games.
For Texas A&M, Perez was more than a lineup centerpiece.
She was the player opponents had to build a plan around every weekend. Whether she was driving the ball out of the yard or simply refusing to chase, she gave the Aggies a steady, dangerous presence in the middle of the order.
Being ranked among the nation’s best only confirms what the SEC already learned the hard way ... Mya Perez is a problem, and she’s not going away quietly.
