Breaking ball and a call. Strike three. Third strikeout for Zach. He's going to just watch it go. A grand slam for Bryson Stott.

And there's a high fly ball. Deep right field. Huffer watches it fly.

From W. H.Y.Y and Billy Billy Penn, it is another edition of Hittin season.

Hey there, podcast, pals. I'm John Stolness from The Good Fight and Billy Penn. You can follow me on X and Blue Sky at John Stolness.

over the last couple of weeks as other teams have started to do things. But I'm going to run down my power

rankings of the top 10 teams in baseball right now and where the Phillies fit in among the

top 10 teams in baseball. It might surprise you where I have the Phillies. We'll also talk about

a couple other rumors going along along the hot stove.

Major League Baseball issued a major pitching report on the state of pitching and pitching

injuries. I'm going to touch on that in just a few minutes. Plus, we'll open up the hit and

season mailbag and we'll answer some questions about what the Phillies are doing here so far this

offseason. So lots to get to here on this episode of Hitting Season. But

want to ask you first, as you guys know, if you follow me on X at all, you've also probably

heard us mention it on any of the previous podcasts that we've done. Hitton season is once

Sports Podcast Group, and there are a number of really good baseball

podcasts that we are up against, and other team-specific podcasts that we are up against.
