New Out of Left Field episode is live and this one is special.
I sat down with Utah Talons catcher Sharlize Palacios one day before the team's first ever home opener in Salt Lake City.
We talked about her family — her dad was drafted by the Cleveland Indians, her sister competed in the Olympics for Team Mexico — the fear of the transfer portal, imposter syndrome, mental health, and what it's like being one of 90 elite athletes building something brand new in the AUSL.
