For the last several years, first base has been somewhat of a merry-go-round for Arizona softball. The Wildcats will have a change at the position in what has been an almost annual occurrence, but who takes over in 2020 may have less to do with first base than other parts of the line-up and even overall offensive strategy.
As a freshman in 2017, senior shortstop Jessie Harper was a first-team NFCA All-American at first. The next season, Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza moved in from centerfield after her second knee injury. Once again, Arizona had a first-team NFCA All-American at the position.
