\n

Top-tier athletes run in the Brady family as the niece of the legendary NFL quarterback<\/a> reached an achievement that her uncle never did \u2013 go No. 1 in a professional sports draft.<\/p>\n

Maya Brady was selected No. 1 overall in the Athletes Unlimited Softball <\/a>League\u2019s<\/a> expansion and allocation drafts on Monday. The Oklahoma City Spark chose the former UCLA Bruins star shortstop. Brady\u2019s mother is Maureen Brady, the sister of Tom Brady. Her mother was also a star softball player for the Fresno State Bulldogs.<\/p>\n

Brady was a superstar when she was with the Bruins. She was a two-time Pac-12 Player of the Year Award winner, two-time USA Softball Collegiate Player of the Year finalist and a three-time First Team National Fastpitch Coaches Association First Team All-American.<\/p>\n

She wrapped her collegiate career in 2024 second, finishing all time in the program in home runs (71), RBI (246) and slugging percentage (.757).<\/p>\n

Being in the Brady family may come with a certain kind of pressure, but in an interview with The Athletic<\/a>, she suggested that she understood that pressure makes diamonds.<\/p>\n

“For me, knowing that my family is very successful, I think it puts a lot of good pressure on me,” she said in 2021. “It\u2019s not pressure like … I\u2019m going to put shame on the Brady family name. It\u2019s just good pressure. I love bearing the last name. I\u2019m just really proud of it.”<\/p>\n

The Cascade took former Oklahoma Sooners<\/a> pitcher Sam Landry No. 2 and then followed up with former Oklahoma State Cowgirls pitcher Kelly Maxwell as the top pick in the allocation draft.<\/p>\n

Former Sooner slugger Jocelyn Alo went to the Bandits at No. 10 in the allocation draft.<\/p>\n

The AUSL was founded in 2024. The Talons defeated the Bandits in the 2025 championship earlier this year. The league has six teams in total.<\/p>\n
