Abbott, along with her Team USA softball crew, was awarded a silver medal at the Tokyo games. She spoke with Telemundo about her future at USA softball and whether she will consider playing in 2028.

"God only knows, so to speak. I have a good support system and a lot of people who hope to see me play still. We'll see! I won't say no, but at this point, I can't completely say yes either," she said.

Abbott has not forgotten her hometown during her time away. She says she credits the support of her fans and family for being where she is now.
