The Softball Special welcomes listeners into a high-energy episode filled with laughs, leadership, and legendary vibes. This week, Coach Aaron gathers all five of The SLIDE Podcast’s softball field reporters—Gracie, Anne Bell, Addison, Lily, and Rylee—for a jam-packed celebration of all things softball. From strawberry-chocolate drinks to taco-themed sliding mitt ideas, the episode delivers good times and genuine connections.
While the fun is real, the moment everyone’s waiting for finally arrives. The Softball Special isn’t just about fielding questions—it’s about revealing who’s joining the show as the new Softball Co-Host. And it’s none other than Rachel Garcia—a UCLA National Champion, Team USA Ace Pitcher, and current pro with the AU Softball Volts. Her addition instantly levels up the podcast’s star power and softball IQ.
As each reporter shares what they’ve been up to—from pitching lessons and new Bat Buster teams to gear giveaways and glove designs—the sense of community shines through. They also discuss the popular batting glove contest, featuring custom creations, including the winning “Toxic Barrels” design.
Then, Coach Aaron surprises the team with the incredible news: Rachel Garcia is officially joining as the show’s softball co-host. The excitement is electric. Rachel’s presence promises mentorship, inspiration, and real-world advice for every young athlete who dreams of big stages and bigger goals.
One of the field reporters says it best: “Having Rachel Garcia on the show is like having your hero on speed dial!” And that’s exactly the kind of magic this episode delivers.
The Softball Special marks a turning point for The SLIDE Podcast’s coverage of girls in the game. With the addition of Rachel Garcia and the whole cast of softball field reporters bringing their unique energy, this season promises to go deeper, have more fun, and showcase the heart of the sport like never before.
Don’t miss this episode—it’s more than a reveal. It’s the beginning of a brand new era for softball storytelling.
