Senior outfielder Josie Bower led Baylor softball with 30 RBI for the entire 2022 season. When sophomore infielder Shaylon Govan started her career with the Bears in 2023, it only took her 15 games to top that mark, as she already owned 31 RBI before the end of February.
Govan etched her name as one of the country’s best sluggers in those 18 days to start the season, and she’s caught the attention of just about every pitching staff the 18th-ranked Bears have faced since, if she hadn’t already.
“Shay’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen in my life, and so I’m really happy that she’s here,” Bower said.
