Podcasts about Perfect game

On this episode of Be the One, we sit down with two Brookstone seniors, Brennan and Lucy Bell, to talk about their summer as Swift Scholars.Lucy spent three weeks at Brown University in an intensive drawing program, working with charcoal, graphite, and ink, and learning what college-level critiques really feel like. Brennan headed to Duke for a pre-college Introduction to Medicine program, where his group's capstone project took on the youth vaping epidemic. Somehow he also fit in one of the biggest baseball summers of his life, with stops at the Perfect Game and Under Armour All-American games.They also talk about how they found Brookstone in the first place (shoutout to the tour guides), the freshman retreat, the quad, bonfire night, favorite cafeteria meals, and the teachers who've made the biggest difference for them.

The Drive opened the show explaining how a matchup with the lowly Dolphins is the perfect time to get some more snaps for the Chiefs young players.

Mo Vaughn has never been a small man. He stands 6-1 and, in the height of his playing days, weighed around 225 lbs., mostly muscle. He hit towering home runs and was very light on his feet for a man of his stature. My guess is that if you saw the former 3X All-Star and 1995 AL MVP approaching you in a dark alley, you may walk the other way. But most who know Vaughn know the “hit dog” carries a jovial demeanor. Last weekend, at the Perfect Game All-American Classic, I saw Vaughn in his true element, at the ballpark. He flashed smiles and gave out daps and hugs like the true ambassador of the game he is. Vaughn was the Manager of the PG All-American East Team. The East team featured some of the very best high school players in the country (Class of ‘27), and, according to Perfect Game Rankings, the top two African American players in the game, Chase Fuller (#3) and Kinon Bastian (#4).I visited with Vaughn at Citizen Bank Park for the Black Baseball Mixtape Podcast. We discussed his involvement with Perfect Game and his passion for leading young baseball players. We also talked about why there are not more Black coaches in the the professional and college ranks. Vaughn is insightful and passionate. His work at the grassroots level of youth baseball gives him a perspective worth sharing, and I know you will enjoy hearing it.The Black Baseball Mixtape is in partnership with the Players Alliance, Minority Prospects, and Numbers Game Baseball Scorebooks.BlackBaseballMixtape@gmail.com

I've spoken to Kash Shaikh before. Kash's mission-driven attitude is infectious, and his enthusiasm is contagious. You may remember him from his two previous appearances on the Black Baseball Mixtape podcast. In both episodes, Kash talked about his role as founder and CEO of Baseball United. This visit is different — Kash is different. For the first time in person, I spoke with Kash, now the Chief Marketing Officer for Perfect Game — the largest amateur baseball organization in the country. Kash's mission is to grow PG both domestically and internationally.Perfect Game is one of those ubiquitous organizations involved in everything amateur baseball. I bet you the majority of all players in MLB have had some interaction with PG at some point in their career. But do you really know how involved Perfect Game is in setting the standard for a multi-billion-dollar youth baseball industry? Let me tell you, PG is heavily involved. But does that mean PG is responsible for the current travel ball structure? Is PG responsible for the cost of every travel organization? The actions of every travel coach? They can't possibly be responsible for all of that, right? What I can share is that PG takes the hit for a lot of things, good and bad, within the travel ball ecosystem. The honest answer is more complex, so I'll let Kash explain. PG is indeed the leader within amateur baseball. PG's decisions affect the entire travel ball landscape. They wear that mantle with pride, but it's also true that some things are beyond PG's control.Last weekend, I set out to better understand Perfect Game. This is just the start of my journey. I thank Perfect Game and my friend Kash for sitting down with the Black Baseball Mixtape and sharing this conversation with our community.

Send us Fan MailOn this episode, Denny and Producer Rob talk about the recent baseball tryouts and coaching approaches. The discussion also included the growing seriousness in youth baseball, particularly around travel ball programs and showcases like Perfect Game, with Denny expressing concerns about parents focusing too much on representation and showcases rather than player development. The conversation covered Denny's coaching philosophy at BATRS, emphasizing proper fundamentals like playing catch and defensive awareness over results-oriented approaches, with Denny sharing specific techniques for teaching young players about home plate dimensions and pitcher analysis. They also discussed the importance of parents being engaged and supportive rather than helicopter parents, with Denny sharing positive experiences with good parenting at his programs."Swing Hard in case you hit it!"

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate the unwritten rule of bunting to break up a no-hitter, sparked by Tim Tawa's bunt attempt in the sixth inning of a Guardians game with Gavin Williams throwing a perfect game. Ken argues there's a specific inning cutoff where it becomes "Bush League," while Tony leans toward it being fair game earlier than Ken thinks, and callers weigh in with their own dividing lines (sixth okay, seventh not; others say any time is fair). The segment also covers the benches-clearing incident that followed, with Steven Vogt getting ejected, Rougie Odor visibly enraged and held back by teammates, and Vogt's postgame comments defending his response as a way to rally a scuffling team. Gavin Williams himself downplayed the whole thing postgame, saying he didn't have much of a reaction and was just focused on getting outs.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate the ethics of bunting to break up a perfect game following Tim Tawa's attempt against Gavin Williams. They also discuss Steven Vogt's leadership during the ensuing bench-clearing incident before shifting focus to the Browns' outlook.

Jared Jones was pulled from the game with a perfect game. Joe thinks the bigger problem was that the Pirates didn't score one run. He defends the Pirates decision. We all would have given Jones another inning. Joe thinks people should be more mad about the offense and the bullpen not coming through for Jones.

Hour 1 with Bob Pompeani and Joe Starkey: Jared Jones was pulled from the game with a perfect game. Joe thinks the bigger problem was that the Pirates didn't score one run. He defends the Pirates decision. MLB analyst Matt Clement joined the show. Matt "it was the easy right move" to pull Jared Jones and thought it was a non-story, at the time.

The USMNT's World Cup run is over after getting run off the field by Belgium, and we're asking the hard question: are they just…mid? We break down another disappointing exit, whether the Balogun suspension drama had any impact, and laugh at FOX's desperate attempts to convince America to keep watching the tournament. Then it's on to the NBA, where Stephen A. Smith sparked another firestorm by ripping the Lakers' new “White Big 3” of Luka Dončić, Austin Reaves, and Walker Kessler. We also debate the NBA's experimental one-free-throw rule, discuss the latest LeBron-to-Cleveland rumors, and wonder if Tim Hardaway made the right call by refusing to let his son wear his retired No. 10. Baseball gave us another analytics vs. history debate after the Marlins pulled Eury Pérez in the middle of a perfect game. Should MLB make it illegal to remove a pitcher chasing history?

The rosters for the 2026 MLB All-Star Game were announced this past weekend, and while many very deserving players were named to their respective squads, there were a few surprising names who weren't selected. With the Midsummer Classic taking place in Philadelphia, there's one member of the hometown team who should've been a slam dunk to join the National League roster. On this episode of Baseball Bar-B-Cast, Jake Mintz and Jordan Shusterman discuss who they think were the biggest snubs from this year's All-Star Game, including why Zack Wheeler should've easily made the team representing the host Philadelphia Phillies. They also discuss some of the surprising players who did make their league's roster, including Luis Arraez, Matt Olson and Nick Kurtz. Later in the show, Jake and Jordan talk about the controversial decision by the Miami Marlins to not let Eury Pérez attempt to complete a perfect game after seven innings against the Sacramento Athletics. They then discuss the New York Yankees alarmingly dropping a series to the Minnesota Twins at Yankee Stadium for the first time since 2014, a Los Angeles Dodgers announcer giving the two of them some flak and recap all the other action from baseball this past weekend. 2:05 - The Opener: All-Star snubs 14:50 - All-Star starting pitcher matchup 28:20 - How Sweep It Is: No perfecto for Pérez 41:56 - Red Sox are back in the race 45:28 - Kind of a Big Deal: Yankees panic? 53:46 - Turbo Mode: Weekend recap Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast on your favorite podcast app:

The Marlins completed a sweep of the Athletics, but the biggest story came after Eury Perez was pulled following seven perfect innings, sparking plenty of debate. Joe Rose and the guys discuss whether manager Clayton McCullough made the right long-term decision, explaining that Perez is still working his way back from injury and the organization wants to keep him healthy for a potential playoff run. They also weigh the other side of the argument, questioning whether a chance at baseball history was worth letting him chase a perfect game.

Tobin and Leroy critique the Marlins' decision to pull Eury Pérez after seven perfect innings during their sweep of the Athletics. They also decode the Miami Heat's cryptic social media posts potentially teasing a pursuit of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Finally, they react to breaking news that Tim Hardaway Jr. will wear his father's retired number ten for the Heat. 02:13 - Marlins Sweep Athletics 06:33 - Analytics vs. History 14:13 - Global Soccer Update 21:02 - Leroy's Rib Cooking 24:35 - Heat Giannis Tease 32:14 - Leroy's Game Bums 37:00 - Pitching Management Critique 44:40 - Hardaway Jr. News

Leroy shares the story of a bizarre bicep injury sustained while moving folding chairs before diving into a heated debate regarding the Marlins' decision to pull Eury Pérez during a perfect game.

On May 17, 1998, David Wells showed up to Yankee Stadium having slept maybe two and a half hours, running on coffee, a single pancake, and whatever was left of Saturday night. He then threw the 15th perfect game in Major League Baseball history in front of 49,820 people who were mostly there for a Beanie Baby. That's the story this week. We go deep on the whole thing — the legendary SNL after-party that didn't happen, the cast members who swear they were there and provably weren't, the Mandela Effect that turned one hungover pitcher into baseball mythology, and what Wells actually did in the nine years after the game nobody thought he had left in him. Also in this episode: Rickey Henderson and Jim Rice stop by Letterman to deliver a top 10 list, Steve Garvey turns up as an extra in The Godfather Part II, Wade Boggs earns his nickname on the set of Cheers, and we finally finish that pack of 2003 Topps with Alfonso Soriano, Shawn Green, Al Leiter, and Sean Casey.

You think MLB scouts are evaluating your son. They are. But they are evaluating you just as carefully — and what they see in you can move your son's draft stock up or down by hundreds of thousands of dollars.   MLB agent Matt Hannaford sits down with Mike Liguori to break down what scouts actually watch for when they evaluate a draft prospect, why the in-home visit matters as much as the at-bat, and the effect of a single team's draft-day board pivot and how it directly impacts a family.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why scouts spend just as much time evaluating your family as they do your son's swing What in-home visits and Zoom calls reveal that game film cannot How one of Matt's clients became a first-round pick because of who his family was, not just how he played Why the draft board pivots after pick 1 — and how it can impact whether you sign or not How to prepare your son for the draft so a multi-million dollar target doesn't become a $100,000 disappointment How travel ball volume, social media pressure, and the "dad wound" all show up in scout reports   In this episode, Matt Hannaford explains why MLB area scouts, cross-checkers, scouting directors, and general managers spend so much time on in-home visits. The scout is not just confirming athletic ability — that work is mostly done by draft day. The in-home visit is where the organization grades how the family functions: does the dad let the kid talk, have the mom and dad raised their son well, does the player answer a question well. Every interaction gets logged, and what gets evaluated both with the players performance and a family dynamic shapes how much money the organization could be willing to invest.   Matt walks through a real example: a recent first-round pick whose draft stock was lifted specifically because of family makeup. As Matt puts it, every team in the room said the same thing — if the kid had not been who he is off the field, he would not have gone in the first round. That is what scouts mean when they say "makeup matters." There is on-the-field makeup (do you run hard, do you play the right way) and off-the-field makeup (who are you as a person, how do you communicate, how do you handle failure, what does your home environment say about who that organization thinks you can become). All get scored.   The episode also walks through the draft-day mechanics most families never see. Only one team — the team picking first overall — actually knows what they are doing in advance. Everyone else builds their board live as the picks come in. Matt tells the story of a client years ago who had a clear plan: a specific team picking fourth had told the family they should get to their target number. Then the player that team didn't expect to still be available at pick four was, and it changed everything. Their ideal player fell to them at four. They overpaid to get him. And every pick after that caused them to save money on. The board got reshaped in real time and ended up making compromise calls in the 15th round: a million became 500,000, then 300,000, then 100,000.    The lesson for you, the parent, is preparation. The families who get the best outcomes are not the ones who buy into the hype that the draft will go exactly as planned. They need to have a backup plan — a strong college commitment to a school the player is excited to attend. If your son ends up on a college campus, they need to recognize that for being a positive. And if a team ends up offering life-changing money then that's a decision they should be prepared to make in a moment. Either outcome needs to be analyzed and vetted well before the draft but both must be seen as a good outcome or you're setting yourself up for disappointment. Not because that's a guarantee but because it's how the draft functions. That scenario is real and being prepared for it will give you the best chance for success no matter how it goes.   Matt also addresses the bigger pattern under all of this: the wounds from parents that are created in travel ball that last well into adulthood. Big league players in their 20s and 30s still carry the imprint of how their parents pushed them at 10, 11, 12. Some of them used that pressure to fuel their careers. Many of them also lost the ability to communicate with the parent because of it. The point of this episode is not to make you feel like you are failing — it is to invite you to ask whether what you are doing today is going to help your son for the next ten to twenty years, not just the next ten to twenty games.   Listen all the way through for Matt's breakdown of the major showcases and tournaments that actually get pro scouts and college recruiting coordinators in attendance — Perfect Game, the WWBA in Atlanta, the PG National Showcase, the Area Code Games, and East Coast Pro, Team USA — and the difference between going to an event to be seen versus going to an event to compete.   Subscribe for new episodes every Wednesday at 6 AM ET.
