Ali Aguilar Signs with AUSL for Inaugural Season

Infielder Ali Aguilar has signed with the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) for the first season in June 2025. The AUSL is a professional women’s softball league featuring four teams playing a 30-game season in a traditional format.

Aguilar is a 2020 Olympic silver medalist with Team USA and has played for the national team since 2016. She is a two-time gold medalist in the Pan American Games and the WBSC Women’s World Championship.

She competed in the 2021 AU Pro Softball Championship Season, taking the field in all 15 games. Aguilar recorded a .295 batting average with four doubles and five home runs, contributing to the second-best slugging percentage that season (.727).

A native of Rocklin, California, Aguilar played for the University of Washington from 2014 to 2017 where she was named a three-time First Team All-Pac-12 and an NFCA All-American in her last two years.

The general managers of the four teams will assemble the inaugural rosters at the AUSL Allocation Draft, which will take place in early 2025. A college draft will also be held later in the spring, allowing each team to fill out its final roster spots. Details regarding both drafts will be announced at a later date.
