May 20, 2025 | Softball
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION – Softball America has named Mya Perez to its All-America Second Team, the organization announced Tuesday.
Perez had a breakthrough sophomore season ranking top 20 in the nation in on-base percentage (.561) and RBI (73), while earning All-SEC First Team honors and NFCA Central All-Region Second Team recognition. The Corona, Calif, native finished the year setting a Texas A&M single-season RBI record, while her .424 batting average is third-best in A&M history.
Most notably, she dominated ranked opponents batting .400 at the dish with seven homers and six doubles for a .760 slugging percentage, while adding 28 RBI and 15 runs with 20 walks. In SEC action she ranked second with a .541 on-base percentage, fifth with a .393 batting average and seventh with a .721 slugging percentage. She was the lone Aggie to earn multiple SEC weekly honors, while the team set a program record seven awards throughout the season.
The All-America recognition marks a career first for Perez.
