Be a Light: Amber Toven's Journey from Walk-On to Baylor Leader - Video

Amber Toven wasn't supposed to be here. A walk-on at Arizona who barely played as a freshman, she entered the transfer portal seeking a fresh start. What she found at Baylor was more than just playing time – it was a complete transformation of who she was as a player, teammate, and person.

In this emotional conversation, Toven shares her incredible journey from the bench at Arizona to breaking double-play records with Presley Earls at Baylor. She opens up about the spiritual retreat that changed her life, where listening to teammate Anna Watson speak moved her to tears she couldn't explain – and led to her baptism that same day in a hot tub at a ranch in January.

From tearing her ACL in front of her entire family in California to becoming a mentor for younger players going through the same injury, Amber reveals how faith, community, and the mantra "Be a Light" transformed her approach to everything. She discusses the night OU's historic undefeated season ended at Baylor's hands, the coach who drove through two hours of LA traffic just to meet her family, and why winning for Coach Moore means everything to her.

This isn't just a softball story – it's about finding yourself in unexpected places, discovering faith when you least expect it, and learning that sometimes the hardest moments create the strongest bonds. As Amber prepares for her final seasons at Baylor, she represents everything this program stands for: resilience, faith, and being a light for others.
