Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

BONUS: Hunter Interviews Johnny Reina
Q: Is there anyone in the lower levels you're excited to see come up and work with you at the higher levels?
Top prospects like Franklin Arias, Johan Fran Garcia, and Brooks Brannon show special talent and a readiness to contribute at higher levels, with continued development and conditioning.
BONUS: Hunter Interviews Johnny Reina
Q: What have you seen from Mikey Romero this year?
Romero is a constant pro who fights to stay at the top of the lineup; he's hitting hard but sometimes boxes out with high-intensity contact that translates into at-bats facing tough pitching, and his overall process has started to yield more consistent results.
BONUS: Hunter Interviews Johnny Reina
Q: What's been the big difference between Double-A and Triple-A in terms of preparation and execution?
The emphasis shifts from broad development to execution, with more refined game plans and pitches, and a focus on tailoring approaches to more experienced players who require different prep routines.
BONUS: Hunter Interviews Johnny Reina
Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Reina shares that he's a local with a family and friends nearby, spent time at driveline, and worked his way up to a Triple-A coaching role after moving through the minor leagues.
Episode 581: Andy Sadoski Joins MiLB Talk
Q: What has Andy noticed about the role of analytics vs. traditional scouting in development?
Analytic data is now a core part of teaching and building arsenals, but effective coaching still requires meeting players in the middle—using data to guide decisions while maintaining trust, communication, and the player's own understanding of themselves.
