A new podcast drops tomorrow morning on my Substack. Really enjoyed a long-form interview with O's director of pitching development Forrest Herrmann.

We got into all of it - injuries, pitch counts, what the O's look for in pitchers ahead of the draft. Wide ranging.

Podcast episode No. 3 has dropped. O's 2024 first round pick Vance Honeycutt was really fun to interview at Ripken Stadium.

The new episode is out with the O's Koby Perez!

This show debuts (finally) Friday morning! Getting a podcast to air is harder than you think & thanks to several special people for their help here.

The audio-only shows with Dan Connolly, the O's Koby Perez and Peter Schmuck will all air soon. Excited to break this out!

Wrote today via Substack on Enrique Bradfield Jr, pic courtesy of Altoona Curve from opening weekend, where he went 3-for-8. This young man with blazing speed has the loftiests of goals. He's aiming high, love it.

Talked to Chesapeake mgr Roberto Mercado & OF Enrique Bradfield Jr. among others today at Baysox media day in Bowie.

Check Steveonbaseball.Substack.com for more from Bowie in the morning. Follow me there this year for O's coverage - majors and minors.

Coby Mayo showed some frustration yesterday and it was completely understandable. But he is not the first good player to be at least temporarily blocked. Best play here, my opinion only, is control what you can control and keep playing well. His day will come and I can't wait to see it.

Checking in on a few topics.

Some pics from Birdland Caravan stop at Abingdon Library. Great turnout by Harford Co O's fans.
