speed, versatility, and a proven big-stage background
Haidyn Sokoloski is a 5-foot-11 outfielder who brought Mizzou SEC-tested depth after two seasons at Oklahoma State, where she helped the Cowgirls reach back-to-back Women’s College World Series and showed real offensive upside. Her biggest differentiator is upside with polish: she entered Missouri as a former No. 17 overall recruit in the 2022 Extra Elite 100, and her game has flashed speed, gap power, and enough defensive reliability to earn time in the outfield. In 2025, she opened with a strong weekend for Missouri, including a 3-for-3 game with a double and stolen base, but her production has also been more role-dependent than star-level, so she fits best as a high-energy complementary piece rather than a lineup centerpiece.
