Oklahoma Sooners add former LSU pitcher Sydney Berzon via transfer portal
Oklahoma Sooners add former LSU pitcher Sydney Berzon via transfer portal The Oklahoma Sooners have made their first splash in the 2025 softball transfer portal window with the addition of LSU ace pitcher Sydney Berzon. Berzon announced her commitment via Instagram. Berzon was 18-8 in 2025 with a 2.46 ERA in 30 appearances for the Tigers. She threw 139.1 innings and allowed an opponents batting average of .228. She threw six complete games, including a 199-pitch outing back in May. Berzon recorded 104 strikeouts to just 44 walks on the season. Berzon provides the Sooners with a veteran arm with a lot of experience. She appeared in 100 games in her three seasons in Baton Rouge, compiling a 52-25 record with a career ERA of 2.02 and 3.2 strikeouts to walks during her career. She was a second-team All-SEC selection in 2025, helping guide the Tigers to the NCAA Tournament. She threw a complete game shutout in an elimination game against UCONN, where she allowed five hits and two walks over seven innings in a 3-0 win. Berzon only threw one other inning in the Baton Rouge regional, coming in for 1.1 and allowing one earned run in a game the Tigers allowed five unearned runs on three errors. With the departure of Sam Landry, the Oklahoma Sooners didn't have a pitcher projected to be on the roster with more than 100 innings pitched in a season at the collegiate level. She'll have just one more season of eligibility in 2026.
