How lucky am I to have RHP Matt Rupenthal of the Houston Astros organization as my guest for this episode of Bachtalk. Coming off the heals of Vanderbilt University’ s win of the College World series last week, we get to hear first hand what it is like to be a pitcher in that  prestigious program.

I am so excited for all of you to meet Justin Rocke here in the 10th episode of BachTalk. Justin Rocke was the 2019 Broadcaster of the year for the Appalachian league.

The 9th episode of BachTalk is not the typical subject matter I have on this podcast . I had a very interesting conversation with Andrea Sneed. Andrea is a professional cheerleader with the Cincinnati Bengals as well as being a professional trainer at Adrenaline Sports & Fitness.

In Episode 8 of BachTalk, I get to reconnect with another great guy I got to know last year with the Greenville Reds.

Jerry D’Andrea is an extremely likable and hard working left handed pitcher in the Cincinnati Reds organization. He is currently playing with the Dayton Dragons in low A after being signed by the reds last year.

In this episode of BachTalk, I get to touch base  with a friend I made last summer in Greeneville, TN  with the Cincinnati Reds, Strength and Conditioning Coach Blaine Taylor.

I was lucky enough to get to know LA Dodgers pitcher Josiah Gray during his rookie ball season with the Greeneville Reds. Little did I know that he would be part of the epic off season trade last year between the Reds and the Dodgers. JoJo found out on his 21st birthday that he was going to be a Dodger.

In Episode 5 of Backtalk I step out of my sports comfort zone and speak to Nick Ruthsatz, the 23 year old entrepreneur and owner of Heart over Height Hoops Basketball Training (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky).

I am very excited to have in this episode of Bach Talk one of most talented 19-year-old prospects for the Cincinnati Reds organization. Cash is such an an impressive guy that at 18 he had the option of attending University of Notre Dame and playing baseball or playing professional baseball.

In the inaugural episode of BachTalk, I speak to a friend and former baseball teammate from Earlham College Eric Elkus. Eric finished his career with 26 Hrs, 138 RBIs, and a slugging of .503.

In the second episode of BachTalk I am so excited to be talking to Karl Ellison as he gets ready to depart for his season with Lake Erie Crushers in the Frontier Independent Baseball League.

In the third episode of Bach Talk I have the privilege of talking to Trey Ganns. Trey is one of the few people talented enough to be a two-way player at the division one college level.
