About this episode
This episode featured an interview with Jacob Madrid, a recently graduated catcher from Notre Dame High School who was preparing for the MLB draft. The conversation covered Jacob's baseball career, including his growth to 6'4" and 220 pounds, his impressive draft process involving conversations with 22 of 30 teams, and his commitment to the University of Oregon. Jacob discussed his unique approach to the game, his preference for hunting breaking balls rather than fastballs due to his size, and his experience with professional team workouts including physical testing and skill assessments. The interview also touched on Jacob's family support, particularly his parents who have attended countless games over the years.
