DJ Sanders transfers to Oregon
Deuces Louisiana, All-American DJ Sanders is headed to Duck country. Oregon head coach Mike White announced on Wednesday that the former Rajun’ Cajun shortstop officially transferred.
In the last three seasons with Louisiana, Sanders hit 51 home runs with 167 RBIs. In 2017, she led the NCAA in home runs (29) and RBIs (82).
White commented, "DJ's abilities are obvious. With her incredible power numbers, she will add much depth to our lineup. She will also be an excellent fit as a person into our program."
After the dismissal of former Louisiana head coach Michael Loteif, DJ Sanders expressed a heartfelt thank you to her longtime coach.
A "thank you" simply cannot express the gratitude I have for Coach Mike and his family. Not only did he teach me all-American worthy hitting mechanics, but most importantly he also taught me to be passionate about a sport I had previously played carelessly. He taught me how to be my most competitive self, how to be compassionate, how to use my voice and platform for good, how to be a strong and confident woman, and to not be afraid to stand out against injustice. I adore the fact that even while coaching at an elite level he never cared about how we performed as much as he cared about making sure we were developing into women that were ready to conquer life after college. He is the true definition of a player's coach. He dedicated so much of himself to this program. He went above and beyond so much for us that it became the norm. Our time together has not been all sunshine and rainbows but I know the tough times has helped shape me into the person I am so proud to be. I will always stand with you.
