Episode 2: Spring Surprises & Japanese Baseball Headlines + Robbie Perkins on Shota Imanaga

March 10, 2025

Spring Training is in full swing, and we break down the biggest surprises—including Aussie Curtis Mead tearing it up for the Rays. We also dive into some of the hottest Japanese baseball headlines, from Roki Sasaki’s devastating splitter to 35-year-old rookie Tomoyuki Sugano. Then, Aussie catcher Robbie Perkins joins us to talk about his time catching Shota Imanaga in Canberra and what to expect from the Cubs' lefty as he takes the mound in the MLB Japan Series.
