Micaela Minner and the WPBL

The NCAA Softball Tournament (2026) is down to the Super Regionals, and the stakes couldn't be higher amongst the 16 remaining teams. Dzifa and I (April) break down every matchup, star players to watch, upset potential, and the teams who are best positioned to punch their tickets to Oklahoma City again OR for the very first time for the Women's College World Series. We also make predictions for the eight series that will take place beginning on Thursday, May 21st. This episode covers everything that long time fans and fans new to the sport need before the first pitch. Be sure to let us know your picks for Super Regionals and follow us on social media.

Sports Agent Lee Johnson of the Lee Johnson Agency recently joined 10th Inning Talk to discuss her life as an agent, how she balances it all, what she recommends to her clients, and how to remain steadfast in this space, especially as a woman. It is an engaging conversation with many lessons. We focus on the athletes, but this episode gives us a great chance to learn how the person behind the talent does it all for. Find out all about Lee Johnson and her agency as she continues to make history as a Black woman agent in the softball and baseball world.

College softball and baseball are currently in the full swing while in conference play. Major League Baseball is about to have its Opening Day for the 2026 season, BUT I am ready to share my experience with you in attending the 2026 World Baseball Classic here in Houston, TX. I love all things baseball and softball, and this World Baseball Classic ranks very high as one of my favorite sporting events to watch and attend. I am so happy to share with you why.

Baseball and softball are sports that continue to attract new viewers both professionally and collegiately. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to talk to the VP of Bruce Bolt and the GM of the Atlanta Smoke (Professional Softball League-PSL), Eric Mays. Bruce Bolt recently sponsored a college, baseball classic (tournament) in Houston, TX at Daikin Park. With athletic gear that assists players on the field to perform at their best while also guiding professional softball, Eric Mays discusses how both of these are essential at leading our young people and the sport forward and how we can be prepared for what's to come regarding both equipment and play on the field.

The time is almost here...THE 2026 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC! This is one of the most exciting times that baseball fans will experience, and I want to make sure that you are covered in knowing which teams will be playing in which pools, who is projected to win the pools and be runner-ups, and who will ultimately take home the title of the World Baseball Classic Champion. 2026 is set to be even more exciting than 2023, and I cannot wait to experience this moment with you. I also have some college softball and baseball updates because the seasons are starting off in ways that have already left fans breathless. Ultimately, baseball and softball are underway in 2026, and 10th Inning Talk has covered all bases to keep you ready for each moment.

Last year at the HBCU Classic, I had the pleasure of meeting two people who were happily cheering on their sons. I had a great conversation with them while also meeting their two sons, Paxton and Peyton, who played on opposing teams during the classic tournament. As they continue their collegiate journey as student-athletes, I had a discussion with both about their journey in college, what motivates/inspires them, and what they expect for the upcoming 2026 season. It's always special when we get to experience brothers play a sport that they love. It's even more special when they play competitively on opposite teams, ESPECIALLY in the sport of baseball. Tune in and learn more about Paxton and Peyton Huff as they join the 10th Inning.

We are all familiar with College Baseball, Major League Baseball, the Winter Leagues, and even the upcoming World Baseball Classic. However, there are some people who take their baseball talents and play overseas. Troy Justice joins the 10th Inning to discuss how he learned about overseas ball, how he's adapted, and how others can join in on this incredible experience in different parts of the world. This is great episode where you learn how your dream can be extended outside of the U.S.

The 10th Inning is BACK and ready to talk all things baseball and softball for the 2026 year. This year, I am incorporating new leagues (WPBL and PSL). I am also elaborating more on the AUSL. Where will they be playing this year as they now have home cities? What is the PSL (Professional Softball League) and where exactly are these teams located? I cannot leave out MLB and the free agency period as it has been heating up. I also have a different take on the Kyle Tucker move that I have not seen out there yet. Join the 10th Inning and find out all about what's happening in the baseball and softball world this episode.

Micaela Minner joined the 10th Inning to discuss her collegiate journey, her life and career after college, how she has remained ready for her moment with the WPBL, and what a Women's Professional Baseball League ultimately means to her, young girls, and the rest of the world. This was so refreshing and enlightening. I am so excited to share this episode with you, so prepare for a great moment in the 10th Inning.
