The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Softball season is HERE and it's a much anticipated 2020 campaign that's got off to a good start. As we continue on with this season we'll be getting to know a couple of the players of this year's team a little bit better thanks to Ragin' Cajuns Softball Twitter.

Today, we shine the spotlight on junior outfielder Melissa Mayeaux.

Here are a few additional nuggets you should know about Kylie on and off the field:

  • Originally from Le Barcares, France
  • A transfer from Miami Dade College (2019)
  • Mayeaux was a first-team All-Southern Conference selection as a freshman and sophomore for Miami Dade College (2018/2019)
  • She led the team with a .431 average, team-best 59 RBI and 32 additional extra-base hits (16 doubles, 10 triples, 6 home runs) as a sophomore (2019)
  • Mayeaux was a baseball player in France before switching to softball full-time in 2017
  • She was a member of the French U-18 Junior National Baseball Team
  • Sun Belt Conference Academic Honor Roll (2018)
  • In June 2015, she would become the first female baseball player added to MLB's International Registration List

Good luck this season Mely.
