The Bleacher Boys Podcast welcomes fellow El Pasoan, Ivan Melendez, to the show. This past season, Ivan had the eyes of the baseball world focus on him due to his stellar play with the Texas Longhorns. In fact, just two weeks ago, the Miami Marlins selected him in the 2021 MLB Draft. Ivan is an alum of Coronado High School, he had two great years with Odessa Junior College, then transferred to UT Austin to play baseball with the Longhorns. Ivan talks with us about growing up in El Paso, his love for the game, and we go thru the pitch sequence of that amazing AT BAT against the Mississippi State Bulldogs in the College World Series. By August 1st, Ivan will make a decision on whether he returns to UT Austin or if he will be “TAKING HIS TALENTS TO SOUTH BEACH…” like another famous athlete once did 11 years ago. Does Ivan hint at a decision on the Podcast? There’s only one way to find out…

Thank you for the continued support, plus don’t forget to hit up and follow The Bleacher Boys Podcast on the all the Socials!
