Episode 50: Frankie Tostado Talks Flying Squirrels, Playing in Richmond, MiLB Journey & More
Frankie Tostado played minor-league baseball in Richmond for the Flying Squirrels for two seasons, becoming a fan favorite in 2021 and 2022 while racking up 25 homers, 174 hits and a .267 average. The Mariners then acquired him in the Rule 5 draft, and he was then traded to the Nationals, where he returned to a warm RVA welcome while with Harrisburg before then playing a stint in Triple-A Rochester.
Now with the Kansas City Monarchs, Frankie joins the podcast to talk about his journey to professional baseball, his time in Richmond, playing at the Diamond and life on the road in MiLB. We also chat about the chaos of that Rule 5 draft, his current season in KC, that return to RVA and more in this special 50th episode.
Thanks so much again to Frankie for joining and to Katelyn for setting it up!!
