This week we are joined by Justin Volman (@JustinVolman), who is the CEO of the Collegiate Baseball Scouting Network. He joins us to discuss some partnerships with MLB teams he has cultivated to study pitching mechanics, as well as the upcoming 2018 MLB Draft. The names Casey Mize, Alec Bohm, and Jonathan India, are ones you want to start familiarizing yourself with for your Dynasty leagues. We also feature Milwaukee Brewers pitching phenom Freddy Peralta. Is he for real? Or overhype in the making? Our own Prospect Jesus, aka Pitching Jesus, dives deeper into the arm everyone in fantasy has been clamoring for.

Robbie Cano off the field; Garrett Hampson breakout; Amir Garrett a Closer to target?; FMKs with Franchy and Franmil; Cavin Biggio; Dan Winkler; Christin Stewart; Memorabilia, Chick-Fil-A ratings, frosted lemonade, Devon Travis, and more!

The Indians are hovering around .500… and in first place. The Royals have won 13 games… and aren’t in last place. So what’s up with the AL Central? Greg and Wayland break down how concerned Cleveland and Minnesota should be about their slow starts. Plus the Ducksnort Boys start a new project: picking favorite and least-favorite players for every franchise in the majors, starting with Wayland’s beloved Chicago Cubs. Then Justin Volman, CEO of the Collegiate Baseball Scouting Network, joins the pod to explain his ambitious goals for changing how MLB teams scout the draft. With thoughts on Edwin Encarnacion, Mark Grace, Byron Buxton, Kerry Wood’s chubby face, Francisco Lindor, Jose Altuve, Mister Cub Ernie Banks, Corey Kluber, Alfonso Soriano, Miguel Cabrera’s rebound, and Slammin’ Sammy Sosa.
