2022 Pre-Season - Beyond the Top 50 w/ L...

On The Verge, Bleav
About this episode

Zach, Nick, and Bob interview minor league outfielder Lamar Sparks about his comeback 2021 season after dealing with injuries and losing 2020 to COVID. Lamar talks about what it took to get back on the field, the differences between the Duquette era and the Mike Elias regime, and what he and the rest of the hitters are trying to do up at the plate. That sparked a conversation about some more names to keep an eye on in the system that were just outside of our top 50 and then they ended things with the newly announced minor league coaching staffs.
