Missouri softball made its second transfer addition of the offseason in pitcher Rylee Michalak.
The right-hander from Hamilton, New Jersey, comes to Mizzou with three years of eligibility remaining following one season at Houston. She went 6-5 with a 5.75 ERA, team-high 35 strikeouts and 49 earned runs allowed across 23 appearances (14 starts) and 59â…” innings for the Cougars.
Michalak earned a complete-game win against UCF on April 26, allowing four runs on eight hits while striking out four. She tossed a season-high 9â…“ innings in a win over New Mexico on Feb. 8.
The Tigers lost Taylor Pannell to the transfer portal, and Michalak will look to help fill the void. Pannell committed to Texas A&M on Tuesday.
Michalak joins former East Carolina outfielder Emma Jackson as the two offseason additions for Mizzou coach Larissa Anderson through the portal this year.
