Episode Notes

This is huge! 

The boys get to talk to the first ever female hitting coach in the MLB, none other than Rachel Balkovec! 

Mick & Jez ask Rachel all about her path from the first ever female strength & conditioning coordinator with the Cardinals, to becoming the first ever hitting coach with the New York Yankees organisation. They talk about the struggles and discrimination Rachel had to face to get to where she is now, and how Rachel ended up down under with the Sydney Blue Sox this season.
