on Monday, these four had a candid conversation about why it’s softball’s time to shine ✨ 

“As women’s sports continue to break barriers and gain cultural momentum, the launch of the Athletes Unlimited Softball League (AUSL) in 2025 will not only elevate the sport at the professional level but also provide a platform for some of the best players in the world to showcase their talent just as the sport is poised to return to the Olympics in 2028.“
