Episode 19 // Shane Greene

In this episode I chat with Sam Antonacci of the Chicago White Sox. Sam and I played together on Team Italy at the WBC last spring, and we get into what that experience was like for him coming into his rookie year, as well as making his MLB debut shortly after. We also discuss the White Sox's surprising run this season, his approach to getting on base any way possible, learning multiple positions on the fly, and the impact Benintendi and manager Will Venable had on him.

In this episode I chat with Brewers Prospect Andrew Fischer. We were teammates on this years Italian WBC team. He led the minors league this season with an incredible 48 Homeruns. We talk about his mindset in the clubhouse as well as at the plate. Andrew is such an easy guy to root for and I hope you guys enjoy this conversation. link to livestream -https://youtube.com/live/RRjZx0mDcwo?feature=share

It has been a while since we have had a guest on Baseball and Coffee. Finally, we were able to set something up! And we got the one and only Payton Tolle. I had a great time chatting with Payton about his season as well as some other lighthearted topics. It is not hard to see why he has quickly become so beloved by baseball fans everywhere. I hope you guys enjoy this episode!link to livestream - https://youtube.com/live/0dhQeqXmke8

We held the first ever in-person and non-livestream version of Baseball & Coffee from the MLB Stage at Fanatics Fest. I was joined by special guests Chris Young and Dellin Betances. We went over the entire landscape of the MLB Standings at the All-Star Break and talk about how we are feeling heading into the second half of the season. Huge thanks to MLB for the opportunity and we had a great time chopping it up in front of a live audience.

Nasim Nunez joined Baseball & Coffee for the first time this week. I loved getting to know him a little bit better, and he has a very good personality. He is also an awesome player, one of the best baserunners in MLB as well as a dynamite defender in the infield. Nasim talked about the young Nats team he is on, his base-running instincts, as well as personal goals for the second half of the season. I hope you enjoy this conversation.

In this episode, I chat with long time Major Leaguer Shane Greene. He tells one of the most unique draft stories I have ever heard in which he went from not playing on any team to being drated by the Yankees 2 months later! We also discussed his time with the Yankees, Tigers, and his transition from starting to relieving.

I attended the MLB Draft Combine in Arizona this past week. I had the awesome opportunity to grab a few minutes with some of this years most exciting prospects. In this episode you will hear from - Roch Cholowsky (Ranked #1), Grady Emerson (#2), Logan Reddemann (#28), James Clark (#5), Drew Burress (#7), and Coleman Borthwick (#35). I came away very impressed with all of these young players and can't wait to watch them set out on their journeys in Pro Ball. I had some sound issues with my microphones but for the most part it should be ok! Thanks for listening!link to the livestream - https://youtube.com/live/vPWH2cC1DDw

I was thrilled to welcome Jacob Misiorowski onto the show this week.  He is coming off of one of the most dominating outings of all time in which he threw a shutout in only 95 pitches with 16 strikeouts!  The hardest throwing starting pitcher of all time; he was absolutely fascinating to hear from on how he goes about it.  He gave us some great insight on his mental approach, training routines, and a host of other topics.  Thank you so much for listening to this episode!Link to livestream - https://youtube.com/live/47CVZzohfzU

In this episode I chat with my former teammate and friend Zack Britton. He gives us some very interesting insight into his legendary 2016 season in which he only allowed 4 earned runs for the entire campaign. He won the Mariano Rivera award and cemented himself as a top pitcher in the sport. We also chat about his newsletter, The Save which I highly recommend.

This is a very fun and casual conversation with longtime MLB pitcher Collin McHugh. He is a World Series Champion and had an unique path to dominance on the mound.
