Nate and The Rook cap off the 2024 Mudding season, tallying up the total and crowning this year's mudding champ. After selecting some B-Sides of the Year, the two get into a discussion on Brant Hurter and his unique MLB performance.

The Rook's good friend, and new Washington Huskies Pitching Coach, Connor Lambert comes on to talk ball. Connor joined the Washington program after an extremely successful run at the University of Portland which culminated in three Pilot pitchers being selected in the 2024 MLB draft; Sam Stuhr, Nick Brink, and Joey Gartrell. Connor shares some great insight into the arms he's worked with, his process, the new college recruiting landscape and other fun stuff. This is a good one!

Hunt, Kohl Drake, Anderson Brito, James White, Ethan Pecko, Wyatt Crowell, and Chen Zhong-Ao Zhuang.

The Rook and Nate discuss some current consensus values, some players getting their attention of late, and revisit a preseason exercise, wondering how they may be feeling today about not buying into a few preseason Top 100 prospects. (There's also a tease for a big upcoming episode.)

McCarty, Michael Morales, Isaiah Lowe, Nick Sinacola, Ryan Gusto, Chris Campos, Joey Gartrell, Sam Stuhr, Nick Brink, and a little serving of pretty boy MLB draft talk.

Nate and The Rook embark on a system by system look at their offseason B-Side hitter selections and where they went right or wrong, which leads to a bigger conversation over where all the ascending bats have gone.

While The Rook is off frolicking on tennis courts, Nate helps listeners define "pretty boys" vs "b-sides" before sharing his findings while on a dig for the most improved lightly rostered pitching prospects.
