Thumann recently passed 200 career hits, and has the chance to leave as Baylor's all-time hitter. She set a single-season record for runs scored for the Bears last season with 60, she's a two-time All-Big 12 conference award winner and a 2014 NFCA All-Region honoree.

Along with Thumann and Reagan, former Bears Cristin Vitek, Stephanie Pomes, Kelly Osburn, Ashley Monceaux, Chelsi Lake and Lisa Ferguson were all drafted by the NFP.
