Caroline Jacobsen's Skills as a Right Fielder Should Not Go Unnoticed

March 9, 2026 - Growing up playing softball or baseball, there was a stereotype about right field.

March 2, 2026 - "I hate it. I am so bored," Ali Newland laughed. She's referencing a tee, the piece of baseball and softball equipment most people take their first swing off of. It's a foundational part of learning the mechanics of hitting and the earliest form of development to play. But as a professional, Newland is over it.
