| Opposite Day for Pirates: ECU's Carter Cunningham Joins | 26 Apr 2024 | 00:34:11 | |
On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, Stephen Schoch catches up with one of the Robinhoods of pirating in East Carolina's Carter Cunningham (Barter Bunningham). In terms of being an ECU Pirate baseball player, Carter does a phenomenal job, mashing home runs and being a leader both at the plate and defending it. In terms of being a nautical sea pirate, that’s where I do unfortunately see him falling short. Most pirates would pillage and steal and keep treasures for themselves, whereas Carter is a pirate who is giving back through a campaign called “Homers that Help,” donating the money to Maynard Children’s Hospital. Personally, I think Carter’s pirate choices are pretty rad! The Schoch Factor is brought to you by Soldier Sports. The Schoch Factor is also brought to you by Baseball BBQ.

| My Kind of Dudes: Virginia Tech's Carson DeMartini, Arkansas' Will McEntire Join | 05 Apr 2024 | 00:45:32 | |
On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, Stephen Schoch is joined by Virginia Tech's Carson DeMartini and Arkansas' Will McEntire to share what has been going into their success this season, along with how they even got into college baseball in the first place. All too often we see people balling out at the college level, and it is easy to think to ourselves, “Well, they are at the pinnacle of their career – of course they have always been good and everyone has always known about them!” Well, in college baseball that is almost often never the case, and honestly this is where you find my favorite kind of players. The dudes who were doubted, the ones who “on paper don’t have the tools,” because in my opinion tools are overrated. Recruiting based on tools alone to me is lazy, because everyone can see the tools, anyone can do it. If you want to be an elite recruiter, you need to be the type of person who can find the intangibles, the gumption. Then you throw together a team of dudes who were told they weren’t good enough or they couldn’t make it? Those dudes are gonna perform like crazy. Carson DeMartini and Will McEntire are two dudes who have those intangibles, and I would take them on my team any day of the week.

| Postseason Schott Factor | 08 Jun 2024 | 00:31:44 | |
On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, we have a special postseason version of the Schott Factor, where Stephen Schoch once again sits down with Texas A&M’s ever-exciting Hayden Schott to catch up on how he has been since they last talked. He has been able to do some fun things in the past couple of weeks, such as seeing the SEC Tournament in Hoover for the first time and participating in a home regional and now a super regional. So, we ask him what it was like to be a part of a team that was tasked with such a challenge. We have appreciated getting Hayden’s insight all season long, and selfishly I am hoping for the Aggies to make it to Omaha so I can see my friend Hayden and his friends out there!

This week, Ben went back to his old elementary school and read to some of their students and had them all come out to a game where his third-grade teacher threw out the first pitch. Ben has been off to a really hot start this season at the plate – which is really cool – but that pales in comparison to the experience he gave those young fans. Following that, Schoch is joined by Hacopian, who talks to us about what it means to be playing baseball at his dad's alma mater and to be able to make a name for himself in his own right as a Terp. Eddie goes over his messy recruiting path that ultimately led him to his dream school with his little brother Chris. It was an awesome time getting to meet both of these guys and learn more about how they got to where they are at today. You won't want to miss it!

On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, Stephen Schoch is joined by Georgia star Charlie Condon – D1Baseball's 2023 Freshman of the Year and the No. 13 college prospect for the 2024 MLB Draft. Charlie has an awesome baseball story that began with a recruiting journey you wouldn't expect if you looked at his stats. Charlie is the type of player who has always bet on himself, and last season fans really got to see why that was a good choice. Often overlooked as high school player, he's transformed himself into a force in college baseball that cannot be ignored. Yet, through it all, Charlie has always kept a super humble attitude that all stems from a genuine appreciation and love for the game. On top of crushing it at school, his baseball journey has given him tons of other cool experiences, such as playing for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team last summer. From playing ping pong with the most fearsome sluggers in college baseball to game day in Athens, this episode has a little bit of everything. You won't want to miss it!
