In Episode 11 of A-Ball with Erik Oas, we offer a full report on the Clinton LumberKings and are joined by reliever Alex Vesia (9:25). The left-handed reliever, who's been one of Minor League Baseball's premier strikeout artists in 2019, talks his path into professional baseball, the difficulty in throwing changeups, and being an influence on younger players. We also look forward to newly signed Marlins draftees who could be joining the LumberKings roster later this month (37:00).
