Hawaii’s Jocelyn Alo made it big on the college softball field. And she’s still playing the sport she loves — with the Oklahoma City Spark of Women’s Professional Fastpitch.
What’s more, she’s marketing her own signature bat made by Rawlings.
“When the girls put this bat into their hands, I want them to feel powerful, confident and on top of the world!,” Alo wrote on Instagram.
The bat is known as the Mantra Plus Jocelyn Alo Special Edition. It lists for $449.95 at Rawlings.com.

Alo, who grew up in Hauula, won two Women’s College World Series championships with Oklahoma in 2021 and 2022 and was the tournament’s outstanding player in ’22. In addition, she was the USA Softball Player of the Year in ’21 and ’22, and she finished her collegiate career as the all-time home run leader with 122.
In high school, Alo was part of three state championship teams at Campbell and was a two-time All-State player of the year. On top of that, she won a state wrestling title at Kahuku before transferring to Campbell.
Here is a promotional video from Rawlings on Alo’s bat:
Alo wrote on Instagram about the inspiration for creating the bat along with some advice for softball players:
“I have finally found the words to express my gratitude for Rawlings and making my dream of making my own SIGNATURE BAT come true💜✨When the girls put this bat into their hands I want them to feel powerful, confident and on top of the world!
Little Back story of the bat:
Purple is my favorite color✨
The designs on the bat are my actual tattoos that represent my culture and where I come from! In my tattoos I have my family represented and that you get no where if you don’t put in the work✨ Also so proud that my last name “ALO” will be world wide🤙🏽
Mantras on the bat…”Out work the Competition” something I got back from my Kahuku Wrestling days, “Be a Hitter” soemthing my dad has always told me and still tells me til this day, last mantra is “you are loved, you are worthy, and you are enough 777” I want girls to know that this sport does not define them and your homeruns don’t define you just the same as your strikeout or mistakes DONT define you, I want girls to truly love the game for what it has to offer good and bad, and 777 is my angel numbers and it just means your at the right place at the right time✨💜
Put my heart and soul into this bat and I hope y’all love it as much as I do💐💐💐🫶🏽 LINK IS IN MY BIO🙌🏽🤙🏽”

And for anyone wanting to take a look back at her time in high school, here is a Honolulu Star-Advertiser story from 2017: Campbell’s Alo Is In A League Of Her Own.
