"I'm looking to play second base, or somewhere on the infield," Houser said. "They might play me in the outfield. After my shoulder surgery, pitching has been hard on my arm. Playing the infield is an opportunity to maybe play more. In college, if you're pitching, you don't get to play all the time. I want to be constantly on the field. I don't want to sit on the bench."
The position switch will not be all good for Houser, however, because she still harbors a love for being on the mound.
"I'll miss it a lot," Houser said. "I love pitching. Pitching's been a part of me since I was 8 years old. Maybe they'll let me pitch some in relief."
Houser will use her summer vacation to get to know her new teammates.
"I'll be playing at Akron Firestone's stadium all summer in a college-like league," Houser said. "I'll be playing the same girls that will be on the team in the fall (when school starts). We'll be playing college teams. I'll be able to get to know the girls before school starts in the fall."
