Molly Paddison is having a full-circle moment right now.

During a four-year stint in the US as a child, she discovered baseball after her parents unsuccessfully signed her up for soccer.

“I was picking daisies in the middle of the field,” Paddison says. “I wasn’t much into it, and then I saw my brother playing baseball.”

Next month, the 18-year-old might be getting drafted to one of four brand-new baseball teams back in her childhood home country.

She’s also graduating from high school. There’s a lot going on.

Paddison played on mixed gender teams until she was in her teens, entering the women’s-only teams early.

She has since represented Queensland in the Australian Women’s Championships and joined the Down Under Diamonds to represent Australia on a Japanese tour in September.
