  • Great Info

    At this point, it should be well known that I’m a sucker for any podcast that invokes Kevin Youkilis’ name to describe anyone that walks a lot, but putting that aside I’m still a big fan of this show. Great info, easy to listen to, big fan.

  • info you usually do not follow closely enough

    Brent and Chris share information of prospects that they have personally watched, and I have found that information can save you mistakes from spending capital on players hyped but really not ready for the show, and very good reasoning for that analysis.

    And along the way, I am sure we will nail some prospects early enough to be ahead of most of your league opponents.

    A nice addition to bbhq.

  • I’m gonna be real honest

    I haven’t even listened to an episode yet but I’ve following Blessing and Brent’s work for years and am always finding myself picking up what they’re putting down.

    Incredibly pumped to listen and see how far they can take this show. 🔥

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 6.4: Early Season Risers with James Anderson
Q: What makes Seth Hernandez the standout pitching prospect this season?
Hernandez has dominated in pro ball, with elite strike-throwing ability for his age, a clear path to higher levels, and a ceiling that could position him as a leading pitching prospect in the class this year.
Episode 6.4: Early Season Risers with James Anderson
Q: What stood out to you about Cooper Engel's early major-league path?
Engel has a strong track record of plate discipline and contact, with enough power to be a fantasy asset as a catcher who could command a high AVG and OBP while contributing 15+ homers when healthy.
Episode 6.4: Early Season Risers with James Anderson
Q: What do you like about AJ Ewing as a prospect?
Ewing shows speed and a strong hit tool, with potential to develop power and become a center fielder who could hit leadoff and contribute steals, runs, and overall upside if the power develops.
Episode 6.3 Arizona prospect reports with Chris Welsh
Q: How does Cunningham project given what you've seen in spring training and Bridge League history?
Cunningham's elite bat speed and aggressive aero-contact approach, plus a standout walk-to-strikeout rate, suggest he can turn singles into doubles with room to grow power, potentially pushing him toward a top-of-folder status in coming years.
Episode 6.3 Arizona prospect reports with Chris Welsh
Q: What stood out most about AJ Russell when you watched him in the backfields?
The session showcased a plus-plus fastball with exceptional command and sequencing, complemented by a quality changeup and slider, making him look pro-ready even at a young age and elevating him into top-prospect conversations.
