Ben and Carlos talk about the first week or so of the professional season kicking off, including a scorching start for Guardians fifth round pick and outfielder Steven Kwan—who literally cannot miss. After that, the two touch on more rookies who have impressed, including Mariners righthander Matt Brash, Reds righthander Hunter Green, Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki and Braves righthander Spencer Strider, among others. The two then talk about a few fast moving minor league prospects (including righthanders Jack Leiter and Eury Perez) and reflect on the hot start of the 2021 prep shortstop quartet: Marcelo Mayer, Jordan Lawlar, Brady House and Kahlil Watson. Finally, the two talk about players who popped at the 2022 NHSI (hello Dylan Lesko and let us introduce you to 2024 outfielder Derek Curiel) before taking listener questions.
