We discussed what position she prefers playing and she says "Honestly, I don’t have a preference.I just want to play. I have spent most of my career playing SS but have played more 2nd base this past year during comp ball with Top Gun National and really enjoyed it as well. I have also gotten the opportunity to play CF this past year. But if I had to pick one right now it would probably be 2nd. For my HS team I am an everyday SS. Fun fact, my primary position used to be pitcher, which I think has helped keep me disciplined during my at bats."
