Former Oklahoma State Cowgirl Chelsea Alexander has signed a contract to play professionally with the OKC Spark of the WPF league.
The team announced Alexander’s signing on Monday; the transaction moves the first-year franchise to a roster of three, following fellow free agent signee Michelle Moultrie and Jocelyn Alo, who was acquired via trade.
“I’m thrilled for the opportunity to continue playing the sport I’ve always loved, especially here in my home state,” Alexander said in a statement. “I look forward to being a part of growing this league and building opportunities for the future generation of softball players.”
Alexander graduated from OSU following the 2022 season, after leading the Cowgirls to three consecutive Women’s College World Series berths in 2019, ’21, and ’22. She led the OSU team in stolen bases as a senior in 2021, scored 43 runs that year, and set a career high with a .373 batting average on the year.
For her career in Stillwater, Alexander recorded a .318 batting average with 156 hits; 131 runs scored; 56 stolen bases; and a .410 on-base percentage.
In addition to the two free agent signings and the trade for Alo, the Spark have also announced Amber Flores as their head coach and Hall of Fame Stadium in Oklahoma City as their home park. The franchise is the third member of the second-year WPF league and will begin play in June 2023.
