  • Awesome Podcast

    You think you can talk about different summer ball league for college player. Like Northwoods, Texas Collegiate League, MINK.

    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.

    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.

Maryland Pitching Coach Jimmy Jackson on NIL, the Transfer Portal & How Recruiting Has Changed | Ep. 190
Q: How has the 5-for-5 eligibility rule impacted anything that you guys are doing from a recruiting perspective?
Jackson says the rule is new and makes roster planning uncertain. Maryland is keeping high school classes smaller, allowing players to decide whether to use a fifth year elsewhere, and evaluating portal additions after seeing who returns.
Maryland Pitching Coach Jimmy Jackson on NIL, the Transfer Portal & How Recruiting Has Changed | Ep. 190
Q: What are some of your non-negotiables in the recruiting process?
Jackson prioritizes work ethic, the player's family or guardians, and input from the high school coach, alongside athletic ability and future upside.
Camps During the Quiet Period | In the Clubhouse with EMD
Q: What are your thoughts on camps during the quiet period, and even more specifically the January, February window?
Players should attend only when they are prepared to perform and the camp is a realistic recruiting opportunity for them. Families should consider health, skill level, academic fit, recruiting timing, and what they hope to gain from attending.
Meet Keith Glasser — EMD Baseball Co-Owner on 16 Years of Coaching, the Hard Lessons & What He Knows Now | Ep. 184
Q: How did you get your foot in the door in coaching after you finished playing?
A combination of seizing opportunities, leveraging key mentors, and being willing to relocate and take on challenging roles early on. The broader network and willingness to learn from experienced coaches opened doors that pure talent alone wouldn't have.
Building Princeton Baseball — New Head Coach Ryan Forrest on Recruiting, Pitching & Analytics | Ep. 182
Q: How do you identify and evaluate recruits?
We rely on strong relationships with high school and travel coaches, look closely at academics (GPA and test status as classes progress), review video across platforms, and, most importantly, visit and evaluate in person to judge fit and character.
