I'm not sure who on the present roster I would give a shot at 3rd, but I would start with Alexa and Stormy.

I love Sophie, but where does Campbell play in this scenario? Campbell was a helluva player this season for us and I expect her to get even better.

1B or RF

So Sophie was good enough to be 1st team Sunbelt catcher but is not good enough to be our catcher next year ? Sophie will be our primary catcher next year.

Her bat was the reason she made 1st team, not her defense. She may still catch as a backup, but she will not be the main catcher. I would go with Langeliers moving over to catcher and Sophie to 3rd. Keep in mind this is if nobody gets hurt and the SS coming in pan out. If they don't then the Cajuns will look to the portal for a catcher.

Campbell's play improved towards the end of the season, but she led the team in errors. She's not consistent enough at third in my opinion and doesn't look comfortable.

For the record I'm still not convinced the Sophie can play there either. The discussion has been her arm, but the position requires quickness and reflexes. And not all throws are short from third base either. I didn't listen to Coach Glasco's interview, if he is confident she can make the transition, he must have seen something from her in practice, not just her play in high school. Fall ball will be interesting.

Other players were tried at catcher last fall with the idea that Sophie could play some at 3rd to give her body a break. The other options didn't really pan out. The staff knows that Sophie can play 3rd.

LF Falterman/Eschete
CF Hayden
RF Davis/Graeter
3B Piskos
SS Griffen
2B Kotzelnick
1B Campbell
C Langeliers
DP Heath/Credeur

A WAYYYYYY to early projected lineup.
