jocelyn's story

Jocelyn Alo finished her college career with 122 home runs, the NCAA Division I softball record and the most home runs in NCAA history across softball and baseball combined, among men and women. She surpassed the previous record of 95, set by her own teammate Lauren Chamberlain, by 27. She grew up in Hawaii, of Native Hawaiian and Samoan ancestry, and went to Oklahoma, carrying her family's presence with her the entire way, on campus and through every season of a record chase the sport was watching in real time.

She hit with a combination of raw power and plate discipline that made her almost impossible to pitch to safely: pitchers could not simply avoid the zone, because she would not chase, and they could not challenge her in it, because she would not miss. She was part of back-to-back national championship teams in 2021 and 2022, the middle of the order that let Oklahoma's pitching staff work with leads instead of chasing them, and she was named USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year in both of those championship seasons. She was, by the time she left college, the answer to a question the sport had never had to ask before: what does the single greatest power threat in the history of the game look like, and what does she do to a pitching staff over the course of a full season.

She turned professional in 2022, selected first overall by the Smash It Sports Vipers, and became one of the faces of the Oklahoma City Spark, finishing second in the 2024 Athletes Unlimited AUX competition with six home runs in twelve games. She represented Team USA on the international stage as well, helping the team win the 2022 Canada Cup and take silver at the 2024 WBSC Women's Softball World Cup, and she found her way into the sport's more theatrical corners too, winning the 2022 Home Run Derby X in Mexico City with the Red Sox and taking home event MVP, then delivering a walk-off at the 2024 Nashville stop. The Chicago Bandits selected her in the second round of the 2026 AUSL Allocation Draft. She and her husband, Bobby Evans Jr., welcomed a son on April 9, 2026, and she has been on the Bandits' temporary inactive list since May 29. Her 122 home runs stand as a college record now permanently closed to her. What she adds from here belongs to a different ledger.
