Episode 225 -- The Oakland A's acquired pitcher Cole Irvin from the Philadelphia Phillies at the end of January, and last week Jason thought he saw something new with Irvin's pitch mix, so Irvin reached out so that he could set the record straight.

Cole and Jason talk about pitching, building a rapport with a catcher, what Irvin learned from MLB veteran Nick Hundley and also the longest home run he's ever given up.

Part two of this interview drops on Thursday, so make sure to subscribe to the pod so that you don't miss out!
