  • Informative, but could be better

    I love the podcast and appreciate the effort that goes into it! Just wish Ryan would let the guests talk. Just when I think we are about to get GOLD from a guest, Ryan interrupts to interject what he used to in one of his programs. Let the guests finish their sentences! So frustrating…

  • Could be great!

    Very good informative guests. Unfortunate that host is always talking over and interrupting his knowledgeable guests. If host can learn to let his guests talk, would be a can’t miss podcast.

  • Please stop interrupting the speaker

    I love the show and love the content but it is so rude and hard to listen to when the host cuts off and interrupts the speaker. I’ve had to turn it off at time because it is so cringy and you can tell the speaker is getting frustrated because they lose their train go thought.

Talking Points

Deven Morgan - Director of Youth Baseball, Driveline Academy (Part I)
Q: Why do you think showcases have become more complex for youth players?
Showcases can provide exposure but require a nuanced approach; decisions should balance exposure with the athlete's readiness and long-term development, including rest and proper progression.
Greg Goodwin - CEO, Mentoring Viable Prospects
Q: Do you miss coaching?
I miss aspects of coaching, especially interaction with players, but I value the broader impact I can have through mentoring and development outside the daily coaching routine.
Greg Goodwin - CEO, Mentoring Viable Prospects
Q: How did you connect with Marquise Grissom and form MVP partnerships?
I had known Marquise through his brother Antonio; we discussed collaboration, and we found ways to partner on community baseball efforts in the Atlanta area.
Greg Goodwin - CEO, Mentoring Viable Prospects
Q: What drew you to Tennessee State?
The school's high-profile success and opportunities at an HBCU drew me, along with the thriving environment and the chance to be part of a community with strong athletics.
Mike Sabatino - ABCA/Soldier Sports High School Div. I Assistant Coach of the Year, Edwardsville (IL) HS
Q: How do you handle two-way players in practice and workload planning?
Use a structured plan with room for flexibility, schedule throw days, position work, and ensure players can stay healthy while gaining exposure and innings in different roles.
