The Dedeaux Download Podcast returns with Shotgun Spratling and podcast co-host Kasey Kazliner breaking down USC baseball finishing the regular season with a series loss on the road at Washington, winning in the finale after dropping five of six games prior. Shotgun and Kasey take a look at the action, noting three positives, including an electric performance from Mason Edwards as well as a positive outing from fellow left-handed pitcher Caden Hunter and Ethan Hedges breaking through with a big hit in extra innings. They also look at the end-of-regular-season struggles for the Trojans and what USC has to do to right the ship at the opportune time. After a break, USC pitching coach Sean Allen joins the show to talk about what can be expected from the Big Ten Tournament since he's coached in it previously and how the unique pod system the Big Ten has gone to this season changes the dynamic, especially as the top seed in one of the four pods. Allen also discusses what they've done to try to get both Edwards and Hunter back locked in on the mound to give the Trojans more depth, especially with the emergence of freshman Andrew Johnson. USC's pitching coach also gives an assessment of the season to this point for a staff that has endured some significant injuries and states the Trojans' case for the NCAA selection committee. Shotgun and Kasey close out the show taking a look at where the Trojans' postseason hopes stand after back-to-back series losses but seeing their RPI climb in the last week. The podcast then previews USC's path in the Big Ten Tournament, including pitching matchups that could set up favorably for them.
