The Sooners have landed another top prospect who could extend their dominant reign for the next couple of years.
Just three days after Oklahoma head coach Patty Gasso had her statue unveiled in front of Love’s Field, the Sooners head coach received a commitment from a top pitcher in the 2026 class.
Malaya Majam-Finch announced her commitment to the Sooners on Monday night via her Instagram account. Majam-Finch is a right-handed pitcher from Fullerton, California. Her announcement confirms she was the “Go Boomer” tweet/post by Oklahoma head coach Patty Gasso on Monday night.
Majam-Finch plays travel ball with the Corona Angels Tyson 18U. There, she was named a Freeway League MVP in 2024. Her other accolades include a 2019 PGF National Championship, a 2021 USA All-American, and a 2023 State Championship. Majam-Finch visited Oklahoma on Aug. 26 for a team camp and posted that she had a great experience.
The junior has been on record saying her aunt, Jennie Finch, was her inspiration to play softball. Jennie is a Hall of Fame pitcher out of Arizona. She is a three-time World Champion (2002, 2006, 2010), a 2004 Olympic Games Gold medalist and a 2008, Olympic Games Silver medalist,among a long list of other accolades.
Oklahoma head coach Patty Gasso has locked up an outstanding 2025 class, and now Majam-Finch will be a cornerstone piece for the 2026 class. In the 2025 class, the top arm coming in is Sophia Bordi, alongside many other star positional players that has many believing it could be the next great class in college softball.
The standout pitcher earned the New Jersey Gatorade Player of the Year for her efforts in 2023 and was named to the Alliance Fastpitch Super Cup All-Tournament Team. She posted a 0.43 ERA in 114.1 innings of work while also striking out 258 batters. Bordi pitched three consecutive perfect games in the postseason entering the championship game, retiring 54 consecutive batters with 46 strikeouts en route to Haddon Heights’ second straight state championship. At the plate, she hit for a .346 average with 10 home runs.
With Majam-Finch throwing in the high 60 mph, the Sooners could have their two aces of the future already committed.
