Woodpeckers Baseball Podcast

Before a conversation with last year's Woodpeckers hitting coach Jason Kanzler, Matt gives his news and notes from around the majors, including the Astros' winning ways despite a growing injured list (1:15), Tatis and the Slam Diego Padres making waves (2:40), and Clayton Kershaw adding to the Dodgers' dominance (3:50). Next, the former two-time Rawlings gold glove award winner at the University of Buffalo Jason Kanzler joins the show to discuss what a typical day is like at the Astros alternate site in Corpus Christi (8:18), his breakdown of his Sportscenter Top Play catch during an intrasquad game (9:20), and the development of three former Woodpeckers currently training at Whataburger Field. Kanzler, among other topics, discusses the physical gains made by intriguing catching prospect Michael Papierski (12:18), how Colton Shaver's power stands out among other catching prospects in the game (14:20), and how Jake Meyers' bat is starting to catch up to his tremendous defense in center field (16:15).
