Let's talk about baseball.

Hello and welcome to another edition of the first pitch podcast on pitcher list.

My name is Trevor Hooth, and I appreciate you joining me today.

Glad you can be here.

Baseball to talk about always.

That's what we like to do.

That's why we're here.

Let's see what's in the news.

Denzel Clark is going to be promoted by the athletics.

This is one of what apparently, according to the report, could be a few different moves that they're planning to make in order to help write the ship.

They're in the midst of just losing quite a bit.

So they're going to call up Denzel Clark.

One of their top prospects, Outfield, fantastic defender.

I love this.

I have been a Denzel Clark fan, Denzel Clark Truth, or whatever you want to call it for years now.

I got to see him play in high A, and I'm a huge fan.

Lots of speed.

Again, great defender. That'll give him some runway to figure it out offensively. He actually has increased his batting average. He's hitting the ball a lot more than he has. He cut a strikeout rate down. He'd been living with strikeout rates in the minors around 30%. Now he's closer to 20% at this point. So he's hitting the ball more. Hasn't shown a lot of power since doing that.

But there's a lot of raw power in there.

For fantasy purposes, though, you're betting on speed is what he's going to provide you more than anything else.

That's assuming he hits consistently as he has been this year so far.
