Summary

Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner return on the Dedeaux Download Podcast to wrap up the 2025 USC baseball season with Trojans' head coach Andy Stankiewicz joining the show to provide insights as we look back at a second season on the road for the Trojans with the team not having access to their under-construction home field on campus. Stankiewicz talks about the Trojans' disappointment with their final two games after being in the Corvallis Regional final and what he talked about with the players after the final game. He also discusses the building blocks the team continues to stack brick by brick as it tries to re-establish itself as one of college baseball's premier programs. The Trojans' head coach also discusses potentially taking a different path in the NCAA transfer portal from the last couple of seasons after pointing out USC has to get stronger on the mound to be able to compete for a chance to improve upon the 2025 season next year. After talking with Stankiewicz, Shotgun and Kasey take a look back at the regional and towards the future of the USC program. They also hand out their end-of-season awards. From best hitter and pitcher to most impactful newcomer , Kazliner and Spratling discuss some of the top individual performers and moments of the long season. Shotgun and Kasey then close by discussing the areas where they believe the Trojans need to attack to make improvements before opening the new Dedeaux Field next spring.

0:40.3	It's been great broadcasting for the Walnut Creek Croddads.
0:42.5	Just trying to get better as a broadcaster after calling USC games remotely last year, which, you know, wasn't ideal.
0:47.2	So it's really great to be back in the yard and been at it for about a week.

1:20.3	portal and say, hey, I know that guy's good. I've seen him on the field. I know he may need to play
