Ben and Carlos give their thoughts on the conclusion of the 2024 World Series. The two talk about Gerrit Cole’s pitching efforts throughout the postseason, the disappointing efforts from superstars Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, talk through early sleeper teams for the 2025 season and wonder about the coming Juan Soto sweepstakes. The two then talk through the future for the Dodgers and Yankees after this matchup, and touch on a few impressive prospects like Dalton Rushing and Zyhir Hope and also about young established big leaguers like Anthony Volpe and Austin Wells.  After that the two pivot to the 2025 high school recruiting class and a few big moves on that beat, including flipped commitments from Billy Carlson and Kayson Cunningham and dig into Ben’s piece looking into the rate at which elite high school players make it to campus. — Time Stamps (0:00) World Series thoughts(7:00) Gerrit Cole(11:00) Shohei Ohtani & Aaron Judge(19:00) Early sleeper teams for 2025(21:00) Juan Soto sweepstakes(30:00) Dalton Rushing(35:00) Zyhir Hope(45:00) The Yankees outlook(52:30) Billy Carlson & HS recruits(57:00) How often do HS players get to college campuses?
