Hot Stove Podcast

The third edition of the Hot Stove sees Matt Cross join the podcast as a full time host. This episode is all over the map, and starts with some random conspiracy theories and different thoughts each host has on what exist in the world. Then we move into the baseball portion of the show where we talk about the differences between professional and college baseball. We also discuss summer ball, experiences living with host families, and the relationships that are created through baseball. Tag along for this entertaining episode of the Hot Stove!

Hosts Ronnie Bernick and Jake Burlingame sit down with special guest Matt Cross, a catcher in the Oakland A's system. Matt talks about stories from his childhood, his collegiate and pro career, as well as all the shenanigans and life lessons learned through the game. Matt gives his takes in a very debatable Hot or Cold segment, and takes his turn on the Hot Seat. Join us in our debates online, and let us know what you think! 

Co-hosts Ronnie Bernick and Jake Burlingame sit down and introduce the new look for the Hot Corner Podcast - The Hot Stove. They discuss the MLB Playoffs, updates about a few of Hot Corner's pro guys, and new updates at Hot Corner in general. Stepping outside of just baseball and development, the podcast aims to show listeners the personalities of both hosts and their guests throughout the episodes with wide open questions on the Hot Seat, little filter, and debates that the listener can join in on as well. Join us in the introduction of our new podcast, and let us know what you think!

In this session, CEO, Ron Bernick discusses how to DOMINATE as a pitcher through our Triple Crown Pitching process.

In this call, CEO, Ron Bernick discusses defensive alignment based on the Dugout Coalition Baseball Coach's Certification process.

This week, we discuss the importance of practice and how to maximize practice time! We really enjoy this conversation to allow coaches to make the best of the time that they have and hopefully come up with more efficient ways to accomplish what we're looking to accomplish during our seasons.  

Big shout out to Chris Gruarin, Head Baseball Coach, Williamsville East High School, for allowing us to view one of his practice plans from 2021. In 2021, WEHS won their Section Title and their catcher, Joe Mack, was selected 31st Overall in the 2021 MLB Draft by the Miami Marlins.

Hot Corner Athletics has partnered with WNY Section 6 Baseball Coaches to bring education to the coaching staffs in our area to provide resources so that we can all grow the game in our amazing area!  

These calls are sponsored by Dugout Coalition and Hot Corner Futures Foundation.  

Dugout Coalition is an online Coaching Development Platform that provides Organizational Structure to Travel Programs, High School Programs, House Leagues, Little League, Babe Ruth and all other programs that have teams. Our goal is to make sure that the organizations are working toward the same goals and that all of the coaches are working toward one common theme: DEVELOPMENT!  

Hot Corner Futures Foundation is a 501c3 non-profit organization that's mission is to provide coaches and players of underserved and underprivileged areas the opportunity for growth, development and freedom from the costs associated with playing this game. We want to provide coaches the ability to teach athletes and want our athletes to be able to freely play this game without worrying about equipment and league fees.

This is a great Podcast between 3 minds that work as 1 cohesive unit across Pitching, Hitting and Strength & Conditioning. We bring in Jon de Marte who is a current athlete with the Chicago Cubs and also a current member of Team Israel who will be competing at the Olympics in Tokyo 2021.   

We are really excited to bring you the absolute best knowledge that we have regarding pitching, pitching lessons, throwing programs, off-season training and strength & conditioning/mobility training for pitchers. This is a once win a lifetime opportunity to dive into the life of a professional pitcher and what their preparation is like to get through a season and off-season.  

Enjoy!

Our 2nd Season of the Hot Corner Athletics Podcast features a Strength & Conditioning Seminar that Sam Cumbo did with the Dugout Coalition Baseball School and the Coaches that had questions on the Strength & Conditioning front. Sam does a great job explaining how to properly warm-up your team, understanding strength, mobility, stability and when kids can start to train with weights.

Hot Corner Athletics brings back another podcast, featuring all of the Co-Founders of the Dugout Coalition. Austin Byler, Mental Performance Coach from Major League University, Jake Banwart and Adam Gouker, Found and Co-Founder of Baseball Academics Midwest, bring their ideals and thoughts on Mindset and how we can use Mindset as a way to improve our game. A lot of athletes believe that they have to work solely on skills to become a better athlete, but knowing how to develop the mindset to perform at your peak potential is really important!   

This is what the Dugout Coalition is all about!
