Not sure anyone will ever know for sure but the ballpark scuttle butt was she was asked to change positions from short stop (with Claire Jenkins returning from injury this year) and she didn’t want to. I initially heard she was asked to move to second base and later heard she was asked to move to catcher. Not sure if either of those is accurate. The common theme was she was asked to move to another position and apparently didn’t want to.



I for one thought she was playing out of position at short and second. She seemed a bit clumsy with limited range and slow hands. Good hitter but she seemed better suited for right field or first base.

I'm glad to see that I was not the only person who was seeing that!

I was hearing basically the same as had been said about her not wanting to give up SS. She was ok at 2nd, but not a good at SS.

As a mom of daughter who played catcher in travel from 8 years to 18 years old, I think Skylar would not be a good catcher for the same reason my daughter didn't play in college. My daughter grew to be 5'8" tall, long legs, and very lean, it takes longer for a tall girl with long legs to pop up from her catching position. Skylar is built the same way.
