Podcasts about Delino DeShields

Welcome to Episode 41 of TableSetters, your ultimate destination for all things baseball! Hosts Devin and Steve are back with an exciting episode featuring a can't-miss guest: Chase Solesky, a rising star on the mound and one of the top prospects in the Washington Nationals system. Chase joins us fresh off a dominant showing in the Arizona Fall League, where he fanned 20 batters while issuing just one walk in six appearances, all while helping his team secure the AFL Championship. We break down his incredible performance, how he thrived against elite competition, and what it meant to earn a spot on the AFL All-Star team. Looking back on Chase's standout 2024 season with the AA Harrisburg Senators, we explore his 3.02 ERA over 17 games, the impact of working under manager Delino DeShields, and his seamless transition into the Nationals' system after leaving the White Sox. Chase also opens up about his time in the Atlantic League and how it fueled his impressive comeback. We dive deeper into Chase's remarkable journey, from the highs of AAA Charlotte to the challenges of independent ball and his relentless drive to keep pushing after being released in 2023. Chase shares eye-opening insights into the Nationals' pitching philosophy, his experiences with cutting-edge pitching labs, and his thoughts on the surge of elbow injuries plaguing pitchers today. Before wrapping up, we hear about Chase's goals for the 2025 season, including sharpening his pitches and preparing for the next big step in his career. And just for fun, we squeeze in a quick question about his alma mater, Tulane, and their potential shot at the college football playoffs. This episode is packed with inspiration, in-depth analysis, and a behind-the-scenes look at one of baseball's brightest young talents. Tune in now—you won't want to miss it!

When Cecil Fielder returned from a year in Japan, 34 years agoo this week, it was without fanfare. But by the end of 1990, after slamming 51 homers, Fielder had become one of the most iconic faces in baseball. His time at the top of the spoort would be short, however, and Mike and Bill look back at why. Plus, happy birthday to Delino DeShields and Smead Jolley. And farewell to Larry Miggins, Dave Wehrmeister, Joe Hicks and Vic Davalillo

Cheats HERE! And on this Black Baseball Mixtape podcast episode, I sat down with a true BBM legend: Delino DeShields. DeShields is currently the Skipper of the Harrisburg Senators (AA - Washington Nationals), but we at BBM will always remember DeSheilds as one of the coldest base-stealing icons of the 90s. He ashed the high socks - he had all the swag - and the culture knew it. In our conversation, we learn the differences between playing in his day and today. We discuss Black ball players' challenges and the value of just playing the game at all levels. The episode is educational; it's fun, and it's filled with Black baseball joy. Please enjoy — rate, review, and subscribe.
