There will be plenty of new faces at Davis Diamond when Texas A&M opens the 2026 season in February, but one familiar presence will anchor the lineup: junior slugger Mya Perez, one of the most feared hitters in college softball. On Friday, Softball America ranked her as the No. 3 Utility player in the country, adding another preseason accolade to her growing resume.
Texas A&M’s star junior earned the recognition on the heels of a dominant 2025 season, one in which she helped drive the Aggies to a No. 1 national ranking and rewrote the record book with a program‑best 73 RBI. Her breakout performance secured Second‑Team All‑American honors and firmly established her as one of the nation’s most dangerous hitters.
Perez was virtually untouchable at the plate, finishing the year with a blistering .424/.561/.804 slash line, 67 hits, and 16 home runs. Her production powered a stacked postseason resume that included two SEC Player of the Week nods, First‑Team All‑SEC, NFCA Central All‑Region Second Team, and consensus Second‑Team All‑American recognition.
Now entering the 2026 season, Perez steps into an even larger leadership role for a roster filled with fresh talent. As the Aggies push to return to the NCAA Tournament, she’ll be counted on not only for her elite bat but also for her presence and guidance on and off the field.
The Aggies will open up the season against ACU on February 5 during the first day of the Aggie Classic at Davis Diamond in Bryan-College Station.
