While the MLB Pipeline Podcast is dedicated to prospect talk, there's no denying that the World Series is the big thing in baseball right now, so that's where Sam Dykstra, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff begin this week's episode, talking about the Fall Classic. The rest of the episode is dedicated to the Arizona Fall League, from discussing the experimental check swing challenge to top performances from the likes of the Phillies' Andrew Painter and the Tigers' Josue Briceño. In his first day of AFL coverage, Jonathan also got to catch up with the ebullient Termarr Johnson of the Pirates before he leaves the Fall League to play for Team USA in the Premier 12 tournament. The pod finishes up, as always, with a question from the listener mailbag, this time about prospects who could see a position change in their future.
