Oregon State senior utility softball player Cambria Miranda has been drafted by a 2007 National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) Championship team, the Washington Glory, as announced Monday by the organization.
"I'm really excited," Miranda said. "I really wanted to go there, and I'm happy that it turned out the way it did. I can't wait until I get to play for them."
Miranda was drafted in the fourth round as the 24th overall pick. She joins the 2007 ESPY Female College Athlete of the Year, pitcher Taryne Mowatt from Arizona and shortstop Courtney Bures of Mississippi State in this year's draft.
"She can play just about anywhere around the horn, and I expect her to make an immediate impact," Washington Glory head coach Carie Dever-Boaz said about Miranda.
Due to NCAA regulations, an active college senior-athlete is not eligible to sign with her respective franchise until her 2008 college season is finished.
Major League Baseball (MLB) is the Official Development Partner of National Professional Fastpitch in the category of women's professional fastpitch softball. The partnership, which began the fall of 2002, is part of the Commissioner's Initiative on Women and Baseball, a league-wide effort to help Major League Baseball and the 30 Major League Clubs build stronger relationships with female audiences.
National Pro Fastpitch is headquartered in Denver, Colo. The league, created to give elite female fastpitch players the opportunity to pursue professional careers in their chosen sport, has operated since 1997 under the names Women's Pro Fastpitch (WPF) and Women's Pro Softball League (WPSL).
