Welcome Spenser Watkins to the podcast!

Spenser is a pitcher for the Baltimore Orioles. He was drafted out of Western Oregon University in the 30th round by the Detroit Tigers.

Spenser was never a top prospect and always had to grind his way through the minor leagues. Many times, he was even looked over for someone else. After the pandemic, Spenser’s career was on the verge of potentially coming to an end…until the Orioles called. He seized his opportunity, made his Major League Debut in 2021, and the rest is history.

We dive into the grinds of minor league baseball, reminisce on old stories, and how preparation and proper mindset can make all the difference. 

Also, given time of year....BONUS CONTENT on World Baseball Classic, AL East, and my trip down to Orioles Spring Training.
