Every institution had at least two representatives make the National Fastpitch Coaches Association’s Division I All-Region teams. A total of 29 league athletes were honored this year.
Oklahoma led the league with eight student-athletes making the list in the Central Region.

Baylor and Texas had four total athletes make the teams, while Texas Tech tallied three players on the squads. Iowa State (4), Oklahoma State (4), and Kansas (2) placed student-athletes on the Midwest Region team.
The awards honor softball student-athletes from the Association’s 10 regions with first, second and third teams selected for each region.
