How talent, timing and prayer helped Baylor Softball head coach Glenn Moore bring two up-and-coming young coaches back to central Texas.

Northwestern State right-handed pitcher Mattison Buster has committed to Baylor for the 2027 season, Baylor announced on Tuesday.

From a personnel standpoint, the Bears were extremely young in 2026, but have a chance to make the most out of the offseason with a plethora of returning options and a portal session to help shore up some holes. Here are a couple of aspects of the team that I’m keeping an eye on.

While Baylor trailed by just four runs after five innings, Texas opened it up with a trio of solo home runs in the sixth as the Bears’ season ended in a 7-0 loss on Sunday at Red & Charline McCombs Field.

Baylor Softball’s lineup spent Saturday attempting to one-up its dazzling pitching staff. Both ended up propelling Baylor to its 13th Regional final appearance as they downed Wagner, 9-0 in five innings and Wisconsin, 5-2 on Saturday.

Baylor men’s tennis player Devin Badenhorst met his future at just nine years old, without even knowing it.

West spent her first few years in Waco as an everyday player until it all came to a screeching halt. Battling back from injury, West's work ethic and strength in her faith have made a lasting imprint on Baylor Softball.

Despite giving up runs in just two innings, a nine-run second doomed the Bears as they fell to the Longhorns, 11-0 in five innings at Getterman Stadium.
