Welcome everyone to Long Ball Legacies, a show on the Pitcherless Podcast Network where we dive into the stories, myths, legends, and players who help shape the game of baseball throughout its history across the world, and the players who help make it the game we love and help make us love the game itself. I'm your host, Daniel Port.

Thanks, everyone, for being here.

As always, I'm very excited about this week's episode.

We're going to do part two of our sort of season update,

taking look at all the current players that are on our list,

and seeing how the season has changed for them and if that means we're going to move them around the list a bit or if it's changed anything in the

rankings for them either up or down and really take a look at what the results of this season

mean for their legacy and as I mentioned last episode, it's hard because I could have either done this podcast

where I didn't talk about current players because of how much things would change from

your to year or because players wouldn't have a lot of experience or things like that.

But that seemed like not, it's all like not accurate, obviously.

It felt like I was leaving a decent chunk of the current story of baseball on the table

if I didn't do that.

That's what we're doing here.

This week is we're taking a look at really the top players on the list that are currently

still playing and seeing how this season went for them and if

anything changed. So in part one, we went over a bunch of different players. We talked about

James Paxton. We talked about Crabrient Hayes. We moved up both of them up. We didn't

move Paxton up very far, but we moved we moved Brian Hayes up a couple spots.

Really started talking about how we're excited about seeing potentially a breakout for him this year.

We talked about Kyle Hendricks and actually moved him down a little bit.

Same for Evan Longoria.
