On this episode we are joined by Tyler Badamo, who was a 24th round pick of the New York Mets in 2014 out of Dowling College, following an All-American season. He wound up pitching 261 innings over four seasons in affiliated ball, most recently playing with the Long Island Ducks in 2018. We had a very candid conversation about the state of Major League Baseball, the recent changes that baseball has tried to implement in the Atlantic League and the changes that they should make, especially allowing players to express their personalities more. We also discuss losing a parent at a young age, and how you can overcome that and channel your adversity into aggression on the mound.
