Regarded as one of the nation's most feared hitters, Perez ranks second nationally and first in the SEC with a .621 on-base percentage while owning an NCAA-leading 52-game on-base streak. The junior has drawn 46 walks, the seventh-most nationally, while her 27 walks in SEC play lead the league and set a Texas A&M program record.
