As of March 7, 2025, there is no credible information confirming that Keilani Ricketts has agreed to a $172.5 million contract with any team in Oklahoma. Such a substantial contract would be unprecedented in professional softball and would likely attract significant media attention. However, recent developments in Ricketts’ career include her signing with the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) for its inaugural season, as announced on January 21, 2025. 
Ricketts has had a distinguished career in both collegiate and professional softball. During her tenure with the Oklahoma Sooners from 2010 to 2013, she earned accolades such as two-time USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year and four-time NFCA All-American. She played a pivotal role in leading the Sooners to the 2013 NCAA Division I National Championship and was named the Women’s College World Series Most Outstanding Player.
Internationally, Ricketts represented Team USA, securing gold medals at events like the Japan Cup (2018, 2019), Pan American Games (2011, 2019), and the WBSC World Championship (2018). Her professional career includes stints with the USSSA Pride in the National Pro Fastpitch (NPF) league and teams in the Japan Softball League.
In May 2023, Ricketts joined Mid-America Christian University (MACU) as an assistant softball coach, bringing her wealth of experience to the collegiate coaching realm.
Given the lack of credible reports and the unprecedented nature of the alleged $172.5 million contract, it is unlikely that such an agreement has been made. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on Keilani Ricketts’ career and contracts, it is advisable to consult official team announcements and reputable sports news outlets.
