Senior infielder Sydney Romero was selected with the third overall pick in the National Pro Fastpitch League by USSSA Florida Pride.

Romero and the Sooners hold a 38-2 record and are ranked No. 2 in the nation. Romero has started in all 40 games in 2019, and leads Oklahoma in batting average (.462), hits (61), home runs (15), RBIs (42), total bases (122) and slugging (.924).
