Out of Left Field host Abby Alonzo sits down with Utah Talons catcher and 2025 AUSL Champion Sharlize Palacios — one day before the Talons' first ever home opener in Salt Lake City. Sharlize opens up about growing up in Chula Vista, California in a family where softball and baseball were everything. Her dad was drafted by the Cleveland Indians. Her sister played for Team Mexico in the Olympics. And Sharlize? She walked out to the front yard in her sister's catcher's gear at 5 years old and never looked back. In this episode, Sharlize gets into:
  • Growing up around elite athletes and how her family shaped her career
  • The travel ball days with Jadelyn Allchin, Maya Brady and the Orange County Batbusters
  • The fear of entering the transfer portal and how UCLA changed her life personally and professionally
  • Imposter syndrome, mental health, and what it really takes to compete at the highest level
  • What it's like being one of 90 elite athletes in the AUSL — and the culture they're building together
  • The origin of her nickname "La Chispa" — and her connection to Fernando Tatis Jr.
  • Her vision for professional softball in the next five to ten years
