Kierston Deal is emerging as a high-leverage lefty for Oklahoma
Deal gives Oklahoma a valuable left-handed arm with swing-and-miss stuff and poise in big moments, as shown by her 2025 run of 10-1 with a 1.01 ERA and 55 strikeouts in 55.1 innings, plus a Big 12 Pitcher of the Week nod. She looks like more than a stat line: reports describe her as dominant, consistent, and a true ‘real deal’ type of pitcher who can change matchups with her southpaw profile, making her a strong fit for a contender that values reliability and upside in the circle.
