GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Athletes Unlimited Softball announced Tuesday, Dec. 21, an additional two-week competition dubbed AUX Softball, along with multi-year contract deals that includes Florida softball standouts Aleshia Ocasio, Kelsey Stewart and Amanda Lorenz.
The multi-year contracts awarded are the first of their kind in the league's history.
In addition to Ocasio, Stewart and Lorenz being signed to two-year contracts, Jordan Roberts was also announced in the release as one of the 42 athletes that will play during the new AUX season and one of the 60 athletes for the Athletes Unlimited championship season.
AUX is set to take place June 13-26, with 18 games on the schedule at a yet to-be-announced single-city venue, while the traditional Athletes Unlimited championship season is set to run from July 29 to August 28, at the Parkway Bank Sports Complex in Rosemont, Illinois.
Ocasio claimed the championship crown during the league's second season, which was held this past September. The right-handed pitcher led the 2021 league with a 6-5 record, 66 innings pitched and 55 strikeouts. She also threw four complete games and compiled a 2.32 ERA, earning MVP honors on eight occasions.

About Athletes Unlimited Softball
We believe the traditional model of pro sports is not built to bring out the best in athletes, or to deliver the most to its fans. So we developed an all-new model for pro athletes and sports – and for you. We are using this innovative player-centric model to create leagues across sports. Our Softball, Volleyball and Lacrosse leagues have been a success, and we have more exciting ventures on the horizon.
Athletes compete in innovative versions of their sports. The games you love have not changed, but our new scoring system recognizes both team and individual play. The games are faster, and individual players score points to move up and down our leaderboard. Each week, the four players atop the leaderboard become team captains and draft teams for the next week of competition. At the end of the season, the player leading in the standings is crowned Athletes Unlimited Champion.
Pro sports fans want faster, more exciting, and more meaningful games – and to engage with the players they love. We maximize fan excitement and engagement. With our innovative scoring system, points and winnings are always in play. There is no lull in the action and fans track it all in real time. By focusing on women's sports, these athletes have more opportunities, and fans have more access to these exciting games. We bring what fans love about fantasy sports into reality with weekly drafts and our innovative individual leaderboard.
Athletes Unlimited athletes, already world-class in their sports, want more opportunity, and more control of their careers. So we eliminated team owners and empowered athletes as leaders and decision-makers.
