NEW EPISODE We’re joined by Audi Hernandez, along with Fort Stockton standouts Jocelynn Arcides and Gerry Diaz — bringing you the game from every angle: playing it, teaching it, and calling it.

We kick things off with Audi Hernandez as he breaks down his journey from player to umpire, diving into the mental side of the game, handling pressure, and what it really takes to stay consistent behind the plate.

Then we spotlight two athletes putting in the work every day. Jocelynn Arcides and Gerry Diaz represent Fort Stockton the right way, sharing pivotal moments in their careers, what it means to be a great teammate, and how they approach big moments. We also get into some fun — pregame rituals, team energy, and dugout personalities.

We wrap it up with “Call It or Challenge It” — where KBALL and Audi go back and forth on bang-bang plays, pitch framing, umpire communication, and the evolution of the game at the high school level.
