LOS ANGELES, CA. – Arizona State Softball NFCA All-American and 2019 graduate, outfielder Morgan Howe signed a contract with the California Commotion, a professional softball organization in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league, the team announced on Monday.
Howe made the All-Pac-12 team in both of her seasons at Arizona State. As a transfer from Fresno State, it only took two years for Howe to make her mark in the ASU softball record books. Howe ranks fifth all-time in batting average, with a minimum of 200 at-bats, hitting a .380 from 2018-19.
In her senior season, Howe heavily contributed to the high-scoring squad, boasting a .402 batting average with 66 hits in 164 at-bats. That same year, she also made the top-ten for most runs batted in (61) and doubles (16) in a single season.
With an undergraduate degree from ASU, Howe decided to continue her education post-ASU as a graduate assistant with the University of Florida's softball team. Howe tried out for the Commotion in early February before eventually signing a contract later in the month.
Congratulations Morgan on reaching your @profastpitch dreams signing with @CA_Commotion ??@morgannnriley | #LeagueDevil pic.twitter.com/3y9wUucRwA
