Two-time All-American and professional standout Carrie Eberle returned to Oklahoma State as pitching coach in the summer of 2023 after spending the previous season at Lipscomb.
In her first season as OSU pitching coach, Eberle helped Lexi Kilfoyl attain 2024 Big 12 Pitcher of the Year, first team All-America and first team All-Big 12 honors. Kilfoyl became OSU’s first top three finalist for the prestigious USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year award. Eberle also coached Ivy Rosenberry to the first all-conference and NFCA All-Region honors of her career. Under her tutelage, Cowgirl hurlers have collected 11 Big 12 or NFCA Pitcher of the Week honors since she joined the coaching staff in 2023.Â
Eberle’s work with the pitchers helped the Cowgirls to a spot in the 2024 Women’s College World Series and she was a member of OSU’s 2024 NFCA Midwest Region Coaching Staff of the Year.
A native of Charlotte, N.C., Eberle pitched for OSU from 2020-21, earning All-America honors both years. In her two seasons in Stillwater, she went 36-5 with a 1.13 earned run average, posted 224 strikeouts in 266.1 innings of work and held the opposition to a .184 batting average. The 2020 season was cut short due to the COVID pandemic, but in her lone full season with the Cowgirls, she was named Big 12 Pitcher of the Year and helped lead the team to the 2021 Women’s College World Series.
After that, she joined the professional ranks with Athletes Unlimited, earning Rookie of the Year honors in 2021.
Eberle was a student assistant under Gajewski for the 2022 season that produced a Big 12 Tournament Championship and another WCWS appearance. She completed her master’s degree during that time as well.
Eberle originally transferred to OSU in the fall of 2019 after graduating from Virginia Tech in three years. Her career with the Hokies was highlighted by 2019 ACC Pitcher of the Year honors after she went 25-8 with a 1.84 earned run average that season.
In addition to her on-field success, Eberle was a strong performer in the classroom, earning CoSIDA Academic All-America accolades in 2021. She was honored as ACC Softball Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 2019 and was an ACC All-Academic selection in 2017 and an Academic All-Big 12 honoree in 2021.
