Arizona 1B Alyssa Palomino ‘determined’ to be an outfielder again

After spending a season at first base, Alyssa Palomino is ready to move back to her natural position.

The redshirt sophomore tweeted Wednesday that she is “determined to be in the outfield again.”

Palomino was moved from centerfield to first base this past season after she suffered her second ACL tear in three years last May.

But would moving her back to the outfield benefit Arizona in 2019? It would certainly ease some concerns about the position.

The Wildcats are losing starting outfielders Ashleigh Hughes and Aleah Craighton to graduation, leaving them with plenty of question marks out there.
