Oklahoma State softball just pulled off a major move for their 2027 recruiting class, landing pitcher Ava Salcedo from Washington High School. She announced her commitment on Monday, and this is big news for the Cowgirls. Salcedo was previously committed to Grand Canyon, so this is a significant flip that changes the game for OSU.

From State Champ to Cowgirl Commit

This isn’t just any pitcher we’re talking about. Salcedo just led Washington High to a Class 3A state championship in fastpitch. That’s not a one-off either, her school, which is near Norman, just snagged their second straight state title! That kind of winning pedigree, that experience on the mound under pressure, is exactly what you want heading into a collegiate program. She is a Class of 2027 pitcher, so it’s a look to the future, but what a future it looks like.

Building the Future for Oklahoma State

Salcedo’s commitment seriously beefs up Oklahoma State’s 2027 signing class. They’re now up to seven commits for that class, and Salcedo marks the fourth pitcher they’ve locked in. Building a strong pitching rotation is absolutely crucial for any successful college program, and bringing in a two-time state champ like Salcedo adds some serious firepower and a winning mentality to their future roster. This is the kind of pickup that makes fans excited for what’s coming down the road.
