Pyproj returning inf on some coordinates

Question

I am trying to figure out why I am getting inf for pyproj transformation from epsg:4326 to epsg:3857, I am using shapely to take in coordinates of a polygon so that I can rasterize. Afterwards, I rasterize it and get back points at which time I am trying to transform using pyproj from epsg 4326 to epsg 3857. I have always_xy=True enabled to follow longitude, latitude formatting.

This is on very specific coordinates in Tuscon, AZ which so far as only been the only test case that resulted in inf value from pyproj.

I am wanting to expect results that are not inf

failed coordinates:

[
{"lat": 32.1846842314981, "lng": -110.84070919725416},
{"lat": 32.184538948251245, "lng": -110.83227633211133},
{"lat": 32.17805544734469, "lng": -110.83210467073438},
{"lat": 32.177783021233786, "lng": -110.84083794328687}
]

The coordiantes that work are:

[
{"lat": 40.6643340701724, "lng": -73.46681736057971},
{"lat": 40.65652089018049, "lng": -73.46630237644885},
