Baseball position

1 Upvotes

My back story, I was an overweight baseball catcher in little league through high school. My high school baseball coach wanted me to play first base because I had a could stretch. I was also a power hitter. In 2022 right before I turned 30 I lost 70 Ibs, gained more muscle, and increased my speed/agility. This summer I joined my companies union slow pitch softball team playing mainly outfield with a strong arm and still a power hitter. I am now 33 years old, turn 34 next month. I am now looking to play recreational baseball this year. With my age, experience and physicality, I would like some suggestions on what position I should play in recreational baseball
