Summary
Eno and DVR take a look back at the Starting Pitcher pool from 2022. Is the group getting better at assessing pitching in general? Does that make it more difficult to wait on pitching going forward? What adjustments (if any) should we make coming away from this season given the relative dead zone for pitching around the back of the Top 200 overall?

| 0:21.4 | Yes, I'm still in someone else's imaginary stream yard background house. |

| 0:30.0 | If you're watching us on YouTube, you can see my microphone looks like a hologram, |
| 0:34.2 | and my face will disappear depending on where I put my head. |
