In this emotionally rich and insight-packed episode of Catching You, Rusty and Lacie Ham catch up after a big weekend. After 17 years of playing softball, it's finally coming to an end. Watch as I reflect on my senior weekend, final game, defensive plays, ERA, and conference tournament experience.
They break down her latest games, including another gutsy performance on the mound against UNLV, a massive home run surrendered, and how she’s refined her mindset around pressure situations—no longer pitching scared, but pitching smart. Lacie dives into pitch strategy, her in-game connection with her teammates, and the importance of energy and presence on the field.
They also reflect on Lacie’s growth from a 10-year-old with a dream of playing college ball to a senior with her best season yet. With ERA numbers down, confidence up, and leadership taking center stage, Lacie talks about journaling, visualization, and the tough lessons she’s learned about performance, effort, and responsibility.
The episode also zooms out to talk about what it means to finish strong—both personally and as a team. Lacie offers heartfelt advice to underclassmen about showing up for their seniors on Senior Day and the lasting value of small gestures like writing a card or offering support.
It’s part scouting report, part life talk, and part tearjerker as father and daughter gear up for an emotional Senior Day—and potentially Lacie’s final home game.
Don’t miss this raw, real, and inspiring episode as the Hams close in on the last innings of a remarkable journey.
