She survived a skull fracture, battled panic attacks, and just pitched against College World Series legends in Puerto Rico.

In this powerful and raw episode of Catching You, Lacie Ham surprises Rusty for Father's Day—right after flying back from pitching in Puerto Rico—and they sit down for an unfiltered conversation about her mental health journey in softball, her pro debut, and what’s next in Australia.

Rusty and Lacie rewind to the summer she was hit in the head by a comebacker—seven years ago, to the day. That one moment shaped her recruiting path, sent her into a whirlwind of anxiety and panic attacks, and almost derailed her career. Lacie shares how long it took to feel like herself again, and how her senior year of college softball was the first time she played panic-free.

They also dive into:

  • Her current experience as the only non-Puerto Rican player on her team
  • Facing off against big names like Taran Alvelo
  • Learning new terms like “Ponche” (strikeout = punchout!)
  • Getting chirped in Spanish she can’t understand 😂
  • Upcoming adventures in Australia and plans to pursue a master’s in sports psychology

This one has laughs, life lessons, and love—everything Catching You is all about.
