About this episode
Roger Munter discusses standout players from spring training and interviews first-round pick Gavin Kilen.
On this week’s pod, I have a sort of hybrid for you from my spring training trip to Scottsdale. First, I’m flying solo, talking about the players that have jumped out at me during my time at Papago Park the past week or so. It’s been a fun trip, with a lot of bats really standing out in my looks. And then in the second half of the program (20:45 mark), I have a short interview with Gavin Kilen , whom I was able to talk to for a few minutes before last week’s Spring Breakout game. Kilen, last year’s 1st round pick, was a little dinged up from the end of his Tennessee season when he joined the Giants last summer, but he is looking strong this spring and raring to go — and should be one of the top bats in the system when the minor league season starts next weekend.
