OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma State Softball third baseman Tallen Edwards has earned the Rawlings Gold Glove award, announced by the NFCA this afternoon.
Edwards collects OSU’s first Gold Glove in program history, after the award was introduced to collegiate softball in 2022.
A member of the inaugural All-Big 12 defensive team, Edwards held down the hot corner all year long, but was especially effective in conference play with a perfect fielding percentage in 57 chances.
On the year, the Moore, Okla., native totaled 112 assists and 33 putouts with only four errors and a .973 fielding percentage. She also had a hand in helping turn nine of OSU’s 24 double plays.
Edwards led the team and ranked inside the top 15 nationally in both defensive runs saved (14th, 13.65) and defensive wins above replacement (14th, 1.15).
Recipients of the Rawlings Gold Glove Award, presented by the NFCA, were selected by the NFCA’s NCAA Division I All-America Committee, following regional voting to identify the finalists at each position. The group utilized fielding statistics and school-submitted video to closely examine finalists and select the winners at every defensive position.
Along with being the first Gold Glove recipient in OSU’s history, Edwards is just the fourth student-athlete from the Big 12 Conference to receive the prestigious award.
