Ben Lindbergh and FanGraphs’ Michael Baumann play a game of “College Baseball Player or Vuelta a España Stage Winner?”, discuss Kumar Rocker’s potential and path to the majors, and (17:38) meet major leaguers Tyler Jay and Richard Fitts, before talking (39:33) to *checks notes* Marlins reliever Big Mike Baumann about becoming the second major leaguer ever to play for five teams in one season. After that (1:05:10), Ben chats with Baumann’s teammate Declan Cronin about how he’s held hitters homerless all season, the high-BABIP blues, the latest trends in pitching development, player paperwork, and more. Then (1:39:52) Ben brings on writer Lakshmi Gandhi to discuss Rocker’s significance as the first MLB player of Indian descent, before finishing (1:55:39) with several follow-ups.
