Gajewski Adds Busby to 2020 Roster
June 05, 2019 | Cowgirl Softball
STILLWATER – While a magical 2019 season for the Oklahoma State softball team met its end last weekend, head coach Kenny Gajewski and the Cowgirls are already preparing for next season with the addition of Hayley Busby, a transfer from Virginia.
In 2019, Busby batted .388, posted an eye-popping 1.125 OPS and notched 66 hits, 30 of which resulted in extra bases (17 2B, 2 3B, 11 HR). Busby's 30 extra-base hits was tied with Lacy Smith for the Cavalier lead, and her other three marks were hot on Smith's tails for the team lead.
The Phoenix, Arizona, native struck out just 13 times in 170 at-bats last season.
Busby's numbers held up against some of the stiffest competition she faced last season, as the right-handed hitter posted three-hit games against Georgia, Pitt, Notre Dame, at James Madison, at NCAA State and vs. Hampton.
Busby, who has two years of eligibility remaining, earned her first NFCA All-Region nod last year, as she was named a third-team selection in the Mid-Atlantic region.
The right-handed hitter played the majority of her Cavalier career on the left side of the infield, starting at shortstop 52 times as a freshman and locking down the hot corner at third base in 2019.
Prior to her college career, Busby played for Firecrackers Arizona and Sandra Day O'Connor High School. She was named the 2016 Arizona Gatorade Player of the Year, and was a 2016-17 First Team All-Arizona, First Team All-State and First Team All-Region selection.
She is the daughter of Michael Busby and Courtney Lewis, and has six siblings - five brothers, one sister. Hayley's father, Michael, played three seasons with the St. Louis Cardinals from 1996-1999.
