Carlos and Peter hop on the draft podcast for the first time in 2025 to talk about their experience at this year’s ABCA. The two talk about a love for I/O and a fun catch-and-throw talk by Vanderbilt coach Ty Blankmeyer, discuss some of their favorite defenders to watch and then talk about hitters at the top of the 2025 college class. There are some hitters who hammer the ball and some hitters who make a ton of contact in this year’s elite college group, but few who do both at a high level—will that change after the full 2025 spring season?
