LUBBOCK, Tex. — BYU softball alum Maddie Bejarano signed with the Women’s Professional Fastpitch (WPF) league’s Hub City Adelitas, the team announced on Wednesday.
One of two professional softball leagues in the U.S., the WPF was founded by USA Softball, the United States Specialty Sports Association (USSSA) and Smash It Sports. It is the official professional softball league in the United States.
The Adelitas are one of four teams in the league this upcoming season, joining the Texas Smoke, Coastal Bend Tidal Wave and Texas Monarchs.
Bejarano played the last two seasons of her collegiate career in Provo, earning All-West Coast Conference Second Team honors in 2023. The left fielder from Cottonwood, Arizona led the team this year with 40 walks, 21 sacrifice bunts and five sacrifice flies.
Playing in all 54 of the Cougars’ games in 2024, Bejarano concluded her five-year career with a .289 batting average, a .416 on-base percentage and a .459 slugging percentage. She tallied 110 total hits, 102 runs, 76 walks, 26 doubles and 13 home runs during the 2024 campaign.
Kicking off its season on June 20, the WPF features an eight-week slate where each team will play a four-game series against another, with the championship series beginning on August 13. The Adelitas will face the Monarch and Smoke three times, and the Tidal Wave twice.
