Elite defensive infielder with top-35 pedigree and Big 12 upside
Elle McCloskey arrived at Oklahoma State as the No. 34 overall recruit in the class of 2025, and her calling card is glove-first impact: she earned Defensive Player of the Year twice at Mater Dei and brings a 6-foot infield frame that fits the modern game. In her freshman season in 2026, she appeared in only three games, so the sample is tiny, but the upside is obvious. If you value rang, defensive polish, and a high-ceiling athlete with serious pedigree, she’s a worthwhile bet.
