Today's guests are Cory Welch and Jason Cochcroft with the Canes South Program.  Coach Welch is the Director of the South as well as Assistant Coach with the National 2022 team.  Coach Cochcroft is the Assistant on South 2021 team.  Both are studs and give tons of great info on our players from NC and SC.  So, let's hear from both of them.

Today's episode is all about the players.  With travel baseball starting back up, I feel compelled to give players some relevant tips on how to make a great first impression when the college coaches are allowed back to recruiting.  It is vitally important in the recruiting process.  As an added bonus, I am also throwing in 6 tips for parents as well.  So let's take inventory - Earbuds? Check.  Notebook? Check.  Pen? Check.  Ok...let's get after it!

Today's guest is Canes and Davidson alum, Andrew Ashur.  Andrew was a pitcher for the Canes and the Davidson Wildcats. He is now the pitch master and CEO of Lucid Drone Technology.  His company exists to make life better and safer for workers who clean the exterior of large buildings.  They have now pivoted to provide a safer and faster method to sanitize large facilities like football stadiums and event arenas.  Lucid has been featured in Forbes and Tech Crunch.  Yeah...and he is only 23.  Andrew talks about his lessons for success in baseball and business.  So, make sure your headphones are secure.  Here's Andrew!

Today's guest is Canes National 2022 Head Coach, Brian Hucks. Coach Hucks is a legend at Lexington HS. He has been with us for 4 years with our Canes South program.  He is a great teacher of the game and he is renowned for making guys better.  Coach Hucks previews some of the 2022 talent on his roster as well as his style of play. Beware...after this interview, you will want to slide headfirst into second to beat the tag.  Here's Coach Hucks!

Today's guest is Canes Alum, Logan Harvey. He played with the Canes since he was 15 years old.  After a successful career playing baseball at Wake Forest University, Logan is now the CEO of Fan Park, which provides contactless parking solutions at large events like college football games.  Logan dishes on his journey through the Canes and Wake as well as the translation of those skills to the business world.  This is a notebook filler of an episode so break out a new pen to make sure you have enough ink.

Today's guest is Oakland A's Pitcher and Canes alum, Grant Holmes. Also, we have Canes Pitching Coach, Jamie Evans.  Listen to Jamie and Grant talk about his baseball journey, including joining the Canes and his nerves on draft day.  Grant was the first Canes arm to hit 100mph and that was 6 years ago!  In addition to being super talented, Grant is humble, Faithful and focus.  So whether you are a hitter in the batter's box or a deer in the woods, watch out because Grant is coming after you.

Today's guest is Detroit Tigers Pitcher and Canes alum, Beau Burrows. He is knocking on MLB's door with a big-league arm.  You will learn about Red Dragon's time with the Canes as well as his focus, accountability and determination.  You will hear about Beau's true love for the game while he dishes great advice for amateur players.  You will hear Beau talk about the importance of being a good teammate and being coachable...especially by coaches like Jeff Petty and Jason 'Big Donkey' Mills.  Be sure to take notes while Beau talks or his knowledge will blow straight past you...like his fastball.  Here's Beau.

Today's guest is Kansas City Royals 1B, Ryan McBroom.  He is a Canes alum who has earned his place every step of his baseball journey - from a walk-on spot at West Virginia to earning a full-ride after his sophomore year to climbing the minor league ladder to the show.  You will hear McBoom (as he is affectionately known) talk about what has gotten him to this point - a lot of hard work, the ability to adjust and focus on his goals.  How many guys to you know seek out at-bats against 100 mph arms during the offseason?!?  If you know a player who is wanting to be recruited to play baseball in college, send him this episode.  Well, you don't want to hear it from me so...here is Ryan.

Today's guest is Cleveland Indians LHP, Logan Allen.  He is a Canes alum who is deeply rooted in his family, which easily explains why he is a fan favorite.  He is one of the winningest pitchers we've ever had - we struggled to find a loss in a game he pitched while wearing our uniform. Logan brings the heat with some hilarious Canes memories, MLB trades,  and his own development in Cleveland.  This episode is a grand slam of insight, knowledge, humor and advice.
