The lockout is over, spring is here, and so is the 2022 MLB season! And since baseball is a game of traditions, The Monarch Experience continues its own tradition of having Jeremy S and Mason A, two current MHS baseball players, come back to make their predictions for what will happen this upcoming baseball season. They talk expectations for both The Mets and Yankees for this year, what they think of their respective offseason moves, pick every division winner, NL and AL MVP, rookie of the year awards, Cy Young, and of course, make our way too early to be accurate World Series predictions. And of course, we agonize over calling Freddie Freeman the most boring player in baseball from last year. If you love baseball and winter was a long offseason, this episode is sure to warm you up for some baseball!
