episode

This week, we take a break from current events to talk about MLB’s 25 best players under 25 years old. The rules are simple: You have to have appeared in at least one MLB game, and you cannot have turned 25. Will Fernando Tatis Jr. take the top spot, or will one of the NL East’s superstar outfielders edge him? Plus: What is the state of the starting pitcher when it comes to baseball superstardom?

Hosts: Michael Baumann, Ben Lindbergh, Zach Kram
Producer: Bobby Wagner
