Season 1 goes out the only way it could — talking ball and looking ahead.
In the Season 1 Finale of StonerCast, Ricky and Dave dive headfirst into the potential 2026 Opening Day roster and break down what the future may look like in Columbus.

Who do we expect to see back in Synovus Park?
Which names are knocking on the door and could be just one call away from Columbus?
And which prospects might not be here yet — but absolutely deserve to be on your radar?

From returning contributors to breakout candidates and future arrivals, this episode is all about who to watch, who’s close, and what’s coming next as the Clingstones prepare for a new season.

Season 1 started with curiosity.
It ends with clarity — and a whole lot to be excited about.

🎧 Thanks for riding with us all season.
Season 2… You're on deck!

StonerCast is back with one of the Atlanta Braves’ brightest young arms as we sit down with Owen Murphy, the Braves’ No. 8 ranked prospect and a pitcher firmly on the radar for a potential 2026 stop in Columbus.

A first-round draft pick of the Atlanta Braves, Murphy opens up about the journey that’s shaped his career so far— from draft-day expectations to the challenges of Tommy John surgery and the long road back to the mound. After returning late in the 2025 season, Owen finished strong with six impressive starts for the Rome Emperors, showing flashes of the frontline stuff that made him one of the organization’s most intriguing arms.

We talk mindset, rehab, development, and what it would mean to get the call to Columbus and take the next step with the Columbus Clingstones. It’s an honest, insightful conversation with a pitcher who knows exactly what it took to get back—and what’s still ahead.

Episode 13 brings the heat—literally. We’re fired up to sit down with JR Ritchie, the Atlanta Braves’ #2 overall prospect and one of the most electric young arms in all of baseball.JR takes us through a whirlwind 2025 season that started with seven impressive outings in High-A Rome, followed by an immediate impact during his eight-game stint right here in Columbus.

From there, the baseball world watched him blast onto the national stage when he was selected to start the MLB Futures Game—where he delivered a flat-out dominant 1 inning performance.But the momentum didn’t stop. Just days later, JR earned a well-deserved call-up to AAA Gwinnett, putting him one step away from Atlanta and firmly on the radar of Braves fans everywhere.

In this conversation, JR opens up about his development, handling pressure, embracing the climb through the minors, and what drives him as he inches closer to The Show.

This is one of the most exciting young pitchers we’ve ever had the chance to talk to—and trust us, you’ll feel that energy.StonerCast Fans… you’re gonna love this one.
