The documentary See Her Be Her is being shown at AMC Theatres nationwide in recognition of International Women's Day, with proceeds supporting Little League International's "Girls With Game" initiative. The film features female athletes from the 2024 Women's Baseball World Cup and discusses their role in the sport. U.S. Women's Baseball manager Veronica Alvarez, mentioned in the report, recalled being mistaken for a softball coach despite her baseball background. A professional women's baseball league is set to launch in 2026, with television deals in progress, according to Phoenix New Times.

Arizona's 14-year-old catcher Lauren Camp, the first girl to play baseball for Sossaman Middle School, is featured in See Her Be Her, a documentary about women in baseball. Jeff Idelson, co-founder of Grassroots Baseball, said, "What you learn is through the lives of seven incredible women from seven different countries is that baseball is prevalent around the world and that women can play baseball." Camp advised other girls, "Just do what you want to do and just have fun and cherish the moments that you get," as stated by AZFamily.

The See Her Be Her screening series, which began in Phoenix, will continue in cities like Seattle in April and conclude in Miami in the fall. As noted by Phoenix New Times, Wendy Selig-Prieb shared with audiences, "I used to say, 'I don’t know, but it's not if but when.' Now, I turn the question on them, and when people say, 'Why?' I say, 'Why not?'"
