Trivia Time:

Do you know who pitched against multiple Cy Young winner Jacob deGrom in his Major League debut, and who allowed deGrom's first hit?

Hint: It was a fellow rookie, also making his Major League debut in that same game.

Trivia Answer:

Episode 5 of our Baseball Podcast features Chase Whitley, who pitched five seasons in Major League Baseball with the Yankees, Braves and Rays.

Chase chats about that debut against deGrom, his rise from a town of less than 500 people to the Yankees starting rotation, by way of Southern Union Community College, Troy State University and the New York Yankees farm system. Whit shares lessons learned from a solid, unexpected professional career, and how he applies his insights to coaching Youth Travel Baseball and as head coach of Ranburne (Alabama) High School baseball.
