Catching You: A Dad and Daughter's Dive into Softball
78 | New Country, New Team, Same Grit: Lacie’s Pro Softball Debut 🇵🇷
Lacie Ham is officially a pro! In this raw and hilarious episode of Catching You, Rusty and Lacie catch up from opposite sides of the map—Rusty in California, Lacie now living and pitching in Puerto Rico.
She’s traded textbooks for sun, sand, and Spanish—making her pro softball debut just days after graduating college. But as always, nothing’s ever that smooth. From dragging furniture down three flights of stairs to gate-hopping with a U-Haul in a sketchy neighborhood, Rusty relives the chaos of Lacie’s post-grad move-out.
Now in San Juan, Lacie opens up about the culture shock, the loneliness, and the curveballs of adjusting to a brand new life with a team where English is not the first language. And right in the middle of the episode? Her coach texts: “Be ready in 5.” You’ll hear her bolt mid-recording. Real life, real time.
Rusty wraps it up with reflections on Lacie’s growth, her rough junior year, and why being “uncomfortable” might be the best gift she could get right now.
Also: sneak peek into her next big move—Australia! 🇦🇺
🎙️ Plus, Rusty teases upcoming guests, including pro softballer Kirsten Ruse from the Like a Girl podcast.
