2023 Women's College World Series All-Tournament team revealed

The 2023 Women’s College World Series All-Tournament team has been revealed following Oklahoma‘s 3-1 victory of Florida State in game two of the championship series.

Oklahoma won its third-straight national championship with the victory, and it was no surprise to anyone that ace Jordy Bahl is heading back to Norman with the WCWS Most Outstanding Player award in her hands. The sophomore star finished the WCWS with a 4-0 record with 24.2 innings pitched, giving up zero earned runs while striking out 33 batters.

Four other Sooners made the list, alongside players from Florida State, Tennessee and Stanford — all teams that advanced to the national semifinals.

Here is the complete list of the 2023 Women’s College World Series All-Tournament team.

Jordy Bahl, Oklahoma (Most Outstanding Player)
NiJaree Canady, Stanford
Taylor Gindlesperger, Stanford
Kiki Milloy, Tennessee
Zaida Puni, Tennessee
Michaela Edenfield, Florida State
Kaley Mudge, Florida State
Kathryn Sandercock, Florida State
Rylie Boone, Oklahoma
Jayda Coleman, Oklahoma
Kinzie Hansen, Oklahoma
Tiare Jennings, Oklahoma

Oklahoma has a staggering five players slotted in the group of 12 players that played at the highest level on college softball’s biggest stage. Even more impressive — at least one player from every level of defense made the list. A pitcher (Bahl), catcher (Hansen), second baseman (Jennings), and two outfielders (Coleman, Jennings).

The national runner-ups also had several players make the list in catcher Michaela Edenfield, LF Kaley Mudge and RHP Kathryn Sandercock. The latter of which pitched a complete game in Thursday’s game two loss to the Sooners throwing 97 pitches (66 strikes) while allowing eight hits and two home runs, which led to all three earned runs for OU.

National semifinalists Tennessee and Stanford also saw a pair of players from their squads earn some well-deserved respect. Cardinal RHP NiJaree Canady — a true freshman — was stellar on the mound with the national spotlight on her. Stanford CF Taylor Gindlesperger ended her season going 3-for-4 at the plate, scoring one of her team’s only two runs against Oklahoma.

The Vols are the only team that didn’t have a pitcher crack the All-Tournament team. Instead, CF Kiki Milloy and Zaida Puni were the catalysts behind many of Tennessee’s runs this season, and it was no different in the Women’s College World Series. Milloy finished her season batting an outstanding .412, while Puni — who scored Tennessee’s only run in their series finale against FSU with a solo homer — finsihed batting .363.
