“Road to the Show,” produced by the Emmy Award-winning MLB Network, rolls on with episode 4 streaming on Peacock on Sunday, with an emphasis on the challenges through each player's journey.
The five-part series takes viewers through the defining moments that shape baseball's next generation -- capturing the pressure, sacrifice and determination involved in pursuing a Major League dream, while highlighting the families, coaches and teammates who make that journey possible. The series features four MLB prospects and two top college prospects who were selected in the first round of the MLB Draft two weeks ago.
In baseball, everything can change in one moment. One road can end on any given day, or another can begin. Every detour is part of the journey -- the road to The Show is never a straight line.
Jesús Made suffered an injury after a collision in the outfield while his family was in attendance in Biloxi. Luckily, he was able to get some home cooking to help him cope with the pain. MLB's No. 1 prospect also appears in his second straight Futures Game, but his family and loved ones are there this time to make the moment even more special.
Gage Wood continues to open eyes within the Phillies organization after his promotion to Double-A. MLB's No. 48 prospect throws his hardest pro pitch as he flashes 99 mph on the radar gun. He also finds out he's going to his first Futures Game.
Roch Cholowsky is a Golden Spikes Award finalist, but his attention shifts to the Draft after his top-ranked Bruins suffer a stunning upset in Regional play and are ousted from the NCAA Tournament. The No. 1 overall pick by the White Sox in his year's Draft shares a secret about a bond between him and the other members of the junior class as he heads to the MLB Combine, where he meets up with No. 18 overall pick Justin Lebron.
Lebron helped Alabama deliver one of the best seasons in program history, in which the school returned to the College World Series for the first time since 1998. The 21-year-old shares his appreciation for the ride and the people who helped get him here. He heads to Oregon for a tour of Nike headquarters with Cholowsky.
Ethan Holliday opens up about the injury that derailed his season right when he was feeling like he found his groove. MLB's No. 17 prospect needed surgery on a fractured left foot that ended his 2026 campaign. But as he goes through his recovery, the process is offering him a new perspective and opportunity for growth.
The wait is over for Braden Montgomery, who is grateful to learn that he's getting his call to The Show. He shares the news with his family and heads to the South Side of Chicago. The 23-year-old outfielder doesn't waste any time collecting his first big league hit and follows it up with a memorable walk-off homer in front of his friends and family who are in attendance at Rate Field.
Each 30-minute episode, narrated by baseball content creator Dan Sarmiento (DSARM), offers an intimate look beyond the box score, chronicling breakthrough performances, setbacks and personal milestones as these rising stars take the next steps in their careers.
The series finale will air on Sunday, Aug. 2. The entire series is available for streaming on Peacock.
