This week, our guest is the ONE AND ONLY Marika Lyszczyk!  Marika is the 1st Woman to catch in NCAA baseball, 1st Woman to pitch in the California Collegiate Athletic Association for Sonoma State (D2) alongside her work within Major League Baseball.  She is part of MLB's Tik Tok Creator Class and was a guest at both the All-Star game and World Series events.  She was on field for the 2022 Home Run Derby and played catch on the warning track.  Marika is the first name you think of in regards to Women in Baseball and we cannot wait for you all to hear these episodes.  We get into the weeds about her experiences, doubting herself and pushing through adversity.  

You can find Marika on Instagram @marika.lyszczyk and on Tik Tok @marikalyszczyk.
