Adam and Jake debut The Backfields podcast, kicking it off with the first of three discussions on what it takes to become a number one overall prospect. The duo addresses underlying demographic and tool trends while specifically analyzing catchers, first basemen, and second basemen. If you're interested in the takeaway, please give the podcast a listen!

Born over a beer while watching a minor league baseball game, The Backfields is a weekly podcast dedicated to the intricacies of prospecting in a data-driven world. Hosts Adam Kiel and Prospects Live Director of Pro Scouting Jake Kerns are both attorneys with experience in legal research, but it’s their shared curiosity in historical studies and abstract topics that will provide a unique take on baseball scouting. Each edition will be dedicated to a singular topic with underlying themes related to fantasy baseball and prospect scouting as a whole.
