  • Disappointing

    Just nothing of depth here. Just two guys agreeing with each other.

  • Must follow

    Outstanding content. Great guests (mostly coaches) and the back and forth is great. You start to hear reoccurring themes from the guests. That is a good thing.

  • Good stuff

    Really good podcast. I just wish they had more guests. I enjoy the episodes where they talk to college coaches. They ask great questions and the back and forth flows well.

  • Why such pauses?

    Would probably be good content if you could get past the really long pauses between responses and then the acknowledgement they the response has ended… I have to keep looking at my phone to see if the podcast stopped because the host waits so long to say anything. Annoying.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Interview with Boston College Head Coach Todd Interdonato - Ep. 163
Q: How do you identify players at BC?
We rely on multiple streams, vet recruits through video, social media, and recommendations, and look for mutual interest and fit rather than a single cookie-cutter method; local and regional relationships often anchor our early evaluations.
College Baseball Recruiting FAQ — Camps vs. Showcases, Academics, Metrics & Emailing Coaches - Ep. 162
Q: What do coaches value more, metrics or in-game performance?
Coaches emphasize in-game performance as the primary driver, with metrics serving as a prerequisite or entry point, but the true indicator of advancement is how a player performs when the lights are on.
Episode 157: Infield Play with Former MLB Player Kevin Smith
Q: Talk us through some of that pre-pitch routine and timing and why it matters.
Pre-pitch timing and staying on time with the ball improves reads, momentum, and the ability to make quick, accurate throws, which translates to better defense and more plays in games.
Episode 155: Interview with Monroe Community College Head Coach Dave Brust
Q: Why is Junior College a really good option for a lot of guys?
Junior college provides opportunities for personal growth and sufficient playing time without the pressure of four-year NCAA programs, allows players to develop their skills, and offers academic advantages that can lead to transfers to more prestigious institutions.
Episode 153: Interview with Murray St. Pitching Coach Steve Adkins
Q: What advice would you give a player or family who is going through the recruiting process?
Be vocal, be a good communicator and allow them to be the one that's going through this process at the lead.
