Show notes

Welcome to From Complex to Queens, the Amazin’ Avenue podcast focusing on the Mets’ minor league system.

New year, new prospect list! With the Amazin’ Avenue 2023 Top 25 Prospect list beginning, the guys share their sleeper prospects, players they were individually highest on that did not make the collective list. Steve was high on right-handed pitcher Jonah Tong, Lukas was high on right-handed pitcher Zach Greene, Ken was high on shortstop Junior Tilien, and Thomas was high on Christian Scott. Depending on how you view these players, they might be high on hallucinogenics as well.

A Pod of Their Own, Episode 149: “Give me the good balls” Dec 28, 2022

Show notes

Welcome back to A Pod of Their Own, a show by the women of Amazin’ Avenue where we talk all things Mets, social justice issues in baseball, and normalize female voices in the sports podcasting space.

This week, we have Bradford William Davis and Dr. Meredith Wills on the show to discuss their latest findings about the 2022 baseballs reported by Bradford in Insider earlier this month. We talk about the three (yes, three) different baseballs MLB used in 2022, the non-random distribution of the “Goldilocks” (not too dead, not too juiced) ball, the league’s response to their findings, and more.

We then wrap things up like we always do with Walk-off Wins, where each of us talks about what’s making us happy this week, baseball-related or otherwise.

You can follow A Pod of Their Own on Twitter and Instagram (@apodoftheirown) and you can also follow our co-hosts on Twitter: Allison McCague (@PetitePhD), Maggie Wiggin (@maggie162), and Linda Surovich (@LindaSurovich).
