Episode 33 of The Layback Podcast features the Athletics' newly appointed Pitching Coordinator, Mike McFerran. Formerly of Wake Forest University and Skidmore College, plus experience in the private sector, McFerran brings experience and perspective from all levels of the game. Adam and Mike talk about pitcher identities, making coaching interventions, as well as the power of doing nothing. The two take a deep dive on defining personal purpose, especially post-injury. Mike shares his excitement to review, integrate, and build systems as he enters year two with the club, but his first in the new role. Top it all off with a few analogies, anecdotes, cliches, and laughs in the mix, and you've got yourself an episode.
