Oklahoma Sooners

The Sooners are by far the most experienced team in the conference. Returning all but 4 hitters and 4 pitchers Oklahoma looks to build on last years mediocre performance to make a push for the post season. The Sooners have a fairly potent lineup, but with only 1 pitcher with a sub 4 era they have some serious problems. If the hitting can carry them to at least a .500 record in the Big 12 this team should get a regional birth, but don’t expect much more than that.

Last Year: 34-25
Big 12: 12-15
Post Season: None
Coach: Sunny Golloway
