Informative but maybe missing the big picture

“I’m appreciative of the fact that there’s a daily podcast on MLB baseball prospects - it must be difficult to research and write prospect content on a daily basis including the off-season.
The level of detail on prospects (and the major league players they may replace) is informative and useful, and I enjoy this podcast for this reason. But I wonder if the host Lindsay Crosby and the producers might occasionally lose sight of the bigger picture with baseball prospects. For example, draftees / prospects / minor leaguers historically have a notoriously high attrition rate on their quest to reach the major leagues. Let alone reach the majors and become stars. It might be good if host Lindsay Crosby would mention this reality more often when discussing the ceilings and projections of whichever exciting prospect is being discussed.
Also, I’ve noticed a few occasions where players names are mispronounced on the podcast. For example, in the Dec 19 2022 episode, the host pronounced major league player Jonathan Schoop’s name as ‘Shoop’ - its supposed to be pronounced ‘Scope’. And it’s not like Jonathan Schoop is a new obscure prospect - he’s been an MLB regular for 10 years and counting.
And I’ve noticed this kind of thing with other players’ names too. Small details, but it makes you wonder whether the podcast creators are spending enough time actually watching baseball games when they assess players, in addition to sabremetric research like looking up Baseball Savant statistics and scouting reports.
But it’s still an enjoyable and useful podcast.”

“This is an amazing podcast for baseball nerds who want to learn more about the up and coming stars in the MLB. The host passionately cares about each prospect when we explains their hit tool or pitch mix. Defiantly recommend for any baseball nerds.”

“I love the podcast. I am a fantasy baseball player that is new to a dynasty league and this has helped me greatly. My questions for Crosby: do you play in any fantasy baseball leagues? Do you find your listeners are usually fantasy players or more interested in real life baseball implications of...”Read full review »

“…it’s the AL record. Be sure to let Lindsay know. Also, I heard him on Locked on Yankees recently admit that he was wrong on Dominguez. Takes a big man to admit he was wrong. I look forward to ESPN breaking into college football games in 10 years when The Martian is breaking Judge’s record. :-)...”Read full review »
