Sacco Named Second Team All-American By D1Softball

STARKVILLE – Mississippi State's Sierra Sacco was named a Second Team All-American by D1Softball on Tuesday, her second All-American nod of the year. The Marrero, Louisiana, native is the sixth player in school history to earn All-American honors from multiple outlets in the same season.

Sacco was also a First Team NFCA All-Region selection, making her eligible for that outlet's All-America honors as well later this week. Should she be selected by the NFCA, she'd join Bulldog legend Mia Davidson as the only player in school history to be recognized by three different outlets in the same season.

Mississippi State has had at least one All-American in three of the last four seasons, and Sacco is the first outfielder selected since Iyhia McMichael was a First Team selection by the NFCA in 2004.

Sacco, who was selected with the fifth overall pick in the AUSL College Draft, signed with the Talons last week to continue her career among the professional ranks. In her final collegiate season, she posted a .450 average that ranked fourth in program history and 12th nationally. Her 1.286 OPS ranks sixth in MSU single-season history, and she finished the year second all-time for runs (64) and third for doubles (19) in a season. Sacco finished her final year among the top 20 nationally in doubles (11th), hits (12th), runs (17th) and batting average.

In addition to her national ranks, the First Team All-SEC selection led the conference in batting average and doubles while landing among the top five in hits (3rd), runs (5th), total bases (4th) and on-base percentage (4th). According to 643 Charts, her 5.7 wins above replacement ranked fourth nationally among outfielders.

Sacco collected 32 extra-base hits this year, which was more than the previous three years of her career combined (27). She posted 27 multi-hit games, which ranked sixth in State's single-season records, and 13 multi-RBI games. Her 22 two-out RBIs were sixth in MSU single-season history.

Along with the impact she made at the plate, the Bulldogs' centerfielder was perfect defensively in her MSU career. In 157 career chances at State, she made no errors while recording five outfield assists, four of which came in 2025. She is the first Bulldog outfielder with back-to-back errorless seasons while seeing at least 50 chances in both since 2014. From 2001 to her arrival in 2024, a Bulldog outfielder had been perfect with at least 50 chances only five times.
