Podcast: Inside-the-park baseball history

October 19th, 2022

With the temps continuing to sizzle in the desert, Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Jason Ratliff keep the conversation focused on the Arizona Fall League.

History was made in the developmental circuit on Monday with the Scottsdale Scorpions hitting not one but two inside-the-park home runs -- something that hasn't happened in the Majors since 1986. The guys discuss the prospects involved (Braves infielder Cal Conley, Orioles outfielder Heston Kjerstad).

The conversation shifts to a couple of recent award winners: the AFL's Hitter of the Week, Twins shortstop Austin Martin, and the Pitcher of the Week, Tigers left-hander Joey Wentz, who joins the show to discuss his season.

The podcast concludes with some chatter about a rare gem from Cardinals lefty Connor Thomas, and a couple of mailbag questions about infielders Jordan Lawlar (Diamondbacks) and Noelvi Marte (Reds).
