    I’ve been listening to this show from the beginning and it keeps getting better! Ben and Carlos see the game like “Neo” in the Matrix, and are uncannily adept at zigging when other baseball reporting zags. And they are usually right!

Episode 165: Mailbag—Are Pitchers With Deeper Arsenals Undervalued?
Q: Do you think pitching prospects with deeper arsenals sometimes get undervalued?
Yes, there's a perception that those with enhanced command are often overshadowed by those solely focused on raw stuff.
Episode 162: Mailbag—The Value of Athletic Testing & Multi-Sport Backgrounds
Q: Do multi-sport athletes project higher compared to those who focus solely on baseball?
There is some truth to the idea that multi-sport athletes may project better due to their broader athletic experience, but it doesn't automatically guarantee their baseball skills will improve when focusing solely on the sport.
Episode 162: Mailbag—The Value of Athletic Testing & Multi-Sport Backgrounds
Q: How has technology like blast motion bat sensors and metric gathering changed high school scouting?
It has introduced more measurable metrics, allowing for better comparisons of players across different regions and evaluations, despite some limitations in specific contexts.
Episode 155: Mailbag—How Do Prep Players Change Their Stock In The Spring?
Q: Would Wandy Asigen go in the top five if he were draft eligible?
Ben suggests that he would not go top five overall in a U.S. draft, as he is still only a 16-year-old player.

Q: Name a college prospect that you guys like as much as you did with Trey Yesavage.
