The Call Up | An MLB Prospect Podcast is an incredible podcast that I was introduced to by the guys at wildcard breaks, and I must say, it has exceeded all my expectations. The hosts of this podcast do a phenomenal job of delving into the world of baseball prospects and showcasing just how delightfully nerdy baseball can be at its core. As a baseball junky myself, I absolutely love hearing about prospects, and Just Baseball provides me with everything I need.
One of the best aspects of this podcast is the Cards to Buy section. They not only discuss the top prospects to keep an eye on but also provide valuable insights on which cards to invest in. This section has been incredibly helpful for me as a collector, allowing me to make informed decisions on which cards are worth adding to my collection. The hosts have an impressive knowledge of the industry and their recommendations have been spot-on.
Another great aspect of The Call Up is the host himself, Aram Leighton. Not only does he have a passion for baseball that shines through in every episode, but his hosting skills are top-notch. His voice is captivating and he effortlessly guides listeners through each topic with ease. It's clear that he has a deep understanding of prospects and his enthusiasm is contagious. Leighton truly makes this podcast a joy to listen to.
While The Call Up excels in many areas, there are some minor drawbacks worth mentioning. Occasionally, there can be a bit too much focus on certain teams or players, which may not appeal to those who are looking for more broad coverage across all teams and prospects. However, this is only a minor issue and doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the podcast.
In conclusion, The Call Up | An MLB Prospect Podcast is an absolute gem for any baseball enthusiast looking to dive deeper into the world of prospects. With its informative Cards to Buy section and fantastic host Aram Leighton leading the way, this podcast is a must-listen. Whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting out, The Call Up has something to offer everyone. I can't recommend it enough and give it a well-deserved 5 stars.

Aram and Jack break down the impressive debut of Reds prospect Andrew Abbott and disappointing debut of Rangers prospect Bryan Woo as well as answer all of your mailbag questions below! Who gets called up first for the giants between Kyle harrison or Luis matos?! - @clayburnkatie • The best dodger pitching prospect ? @themadbritt • How should we evaluate struggling hitters in the Southern league? I just saw Mason Auer was hitting 132 and slugging 213. Didn't know that was possible @kaleb_l29 • Can Nathan martolla and Robbie smelling become too 100 prospects and could jake cronenworth and manny machado get like any prospects @kylestelter78 • If you could take any prospect and put them in any other system that you think they would have a better chance to succeed, who would it he and why. For example, taking Jordan walker and putting him on the yanks because they so badly need outfield offense - @espnraw85 • F,M,K: Mason Miller, Bryce Miller, Bobby Miller @dodgersintern • Would love some talk on Yu-Min Lin. Obviously he's striking out the world but what are the movement profiles and data like? @68kf8wqqfq • Who do you view as the better prospect, royce Lewis or brooks Lee, and why? @larnachenjoyer • How should we evaluate Jack Leiter's recent success? Is he a top 100 prospect again if he replicates this production over the next month? @ANTfuuuz • Which catching prospect can the Marlins trade for that will start for the team right away? If the catching market in the big is as dry as it is, why not shoot for the minors. @kevin_barral Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
