About this episode
Ben and Carlos open the show by discussing the recent injuries to Guardians prospects Daniel Espino and Chase DeLauter before getting into the opening weekend of college baseball action. The two discuss the players who stood out for Carlos at the College Baseball Showdown in Arlington, including Texas Christian third baseman Brayden Taylor, Arkansas lefthander Hagen Smith and Arkansas second baseman Roc Riggio, among others. They spend some time discussing the standout efforts around the country, including Louisiana State righthander Paul Skenes before getting into some farm system talk. Which organizations have the deepest farm systems? Which orgs surprised with less depth than expected? After that the duo takes a few listener questions, including: “Who benefits more from the pitch clock?” “What impacts player development most?” “What skills can MLB teams most consistently improve with players?” — Do you have a question you want us to answer?
