You're listening to Wins Above Fantasy, part of the Pitcherless podcast network with Van Burnett and Steve Giswelly.

Welcome back, everybody. It is Wins Above Fantasy, episode 186. I'm Van Burnett, joined as always by Steve Giswelly.

We got a fun show ahead here.

The pitcher list mock draft for 2026 is underway.

And Steve, we are looking at draft landscape and our early takeaways of what a draft board looks like.

It is the official, you know, blank slate horizon for next year.

And it is always like, I don't know, the earliest moment where you kind of look at everything and you're like, oh, this is what the draft is going to look like.

You know, some of these names we've been talking about all year and you have these

questions of kind of how early will people go, how late people will fall, position scarcity.

So super fun topic.

Excited to be here chatting.

I'm on the road.

So for those you guys on the YouTube, pardon the Kansas City Hotel.

But Steve, it's great dialing in and talking baseball.

How's it going, man?

Yeah, that's great.

This has been a ton of fun.

Nick Pollock does a great job organizing this.

We've done it, I think, three or four years now. I know we used to do

mock drafts that weren't official podcast mock drafts, but this podcast mock draft is something

that Nick gets started basically like the day the season ends. You know, it's all the podcast

hosts from the great network that we have here.
