Freshman Taylor Biehl will play in any position for Wildcats.
PJ Brown Pick a position on the softball field — any position — and most likely Taylor Biehl has played it.Well, it may take her a little longer to jump in the circle and throw strikes, but other than that, Biehl has the Wildcats covered.When Carlie Scupin was hit in her right forearm with a pitch against New Mexico a few weeks ago, UA coach Caitlin Lowe looked at her freshman and asked if she wanted to play at first base.
No. 20 Arizona hosts the Bear Down Fiesta this weekend. It starts Friday with a doubleheader against Georgetown and San Diego, with first pitch at 4 p.m. Arizona Athletics is streaming these games. She would always shag balls in the outfield — even when only playing second and short in high school and travel ball. After arriving in Tucson in the fall, she practiced in nearly every spot on the diamond — and she excels wherever she plays.
Biehl sports a .969 fielding percentage, with only two errors in 27 games she's played — no errors since Feb. 23 against Arkansas. Still, there is quite the difference between playing in the outfield and the infield. Biehl must remember when she’s in the outfield she has a little more time to react to fly balls, yet she has more ground to cover. In the infield, the ball comes off the bat much quicker, so it’s a much faster reaction time.
