Oklahoma Sooners add catcher from Loyola Chicago via transfer portal
· Yahoo Sports
The Sooners made a trio of additions via the transfer portal on Thursday. One of those additions was Loyola of Chicago catcher Abbie Gregus. Oklahoma also added outfielders Adi Hansen and Macie Harter.
Patty Gasso said the team would be looking for a backup catcher, and that's what Gregus will be for the Sooners. With freshman superstar Kendall Wells back and with three more years of eligibility, the Sooners have their catcher spot locked up for the foreseeable future, but they needed someone to provide Wells with a break throughout the season.

In three of the last four seasons, Gregus started 108 games for Loyola. She hasn't been much of a factor at the plate, hitting just .195 in her career with five home runs and 29 RBIs in 267 at-bats.
But all it takes is one season in the right situation with the right coaches to turn a career around. This offseason will likely be spent working on her hitting stroke. But as things stand, the Sooners don't need her to be an everyday player.
One more year. One bigger stage.
