The Ohio State softball team led the country in runs scored and home runs, and one of the main reasons it did was catcher Jasmyn Burns.
All Burns did was hit 25 home runs, 14 doubles, and drive in 72 RBIs while securing a batting average of .455. It was a momentum-building year for her and the Ohio State program under new head coach Kirin Kumar, but that forward- looking optimism took a bit of a blow when Burns entered the transfer portal.
If there were any hopes that Burns would have a change of heart and take her name out of that portal to return to the banks of the Olentangy, that all ended on Saturday when Burns took to social media to announce her commitment to Texas Tech, a team that just finished off a memorable run to the finals of the Women’s College World Series before falling to Texas in the championship series.
While this might seem like a blow for Ohio State and a massive commitment for Texas Tech, you have to believe that the Buckeyes are still in good hands with what Kumar is building in Columbus. The 5-foot, 3-inch catcher has two years of eligibility left in Lubbock.
