JJ Wetherholt Is Back & Nick Kurtz Won’t Stop Hitting Home Runs
Carlos and Peter hop back on the draft podcast to talk about players up and down the board. They get things started by talking about JJ Wetherholt’s return to the lineup for West Virginia last weekend and try and think through where he fits on the draft board now. Is he fully back into the 1-1 mix that he started the season at or have players like Charlie Condon and Travis Bazzana created a gap?
And how about Nick Kurtz? The Wake Forest slugger has gotten back to his power-hitting ways over the last two weeks and all of the sudden looks like the exact sort of hitter we expected to see. Can he rejoin the top-of-the-draft conversation as well and just how insane has his home run streak been?
The two move further down the board to discuss another big power name, but one without the same refined offensive approach as Kurtz: Mississippi State outfielder Dakota Jordan. The two marvel at his bat speed, talk about his improvements this spring and dig into some of the details about his overall offensive approach and hit tool questions.
Next the two talk about Texas shortstop Jalin Flores as a potential salve for the 2024 class' lack of impact shortstops and wonder about how real his loud spring performance is thus far.
Finally the two close by talking about ECU righthander Trey Yesavage, who continues to post weekly, rack up strikeouts, limit his walks and deploy a deep pitch mix with impressive feel to command the baseball.

Customer Reviews
College Podcast
Great analysis and insight on college baseball. It is a must listen for college baseball fans. The one thing I would recommend is improving audio quality and not allowing the dog barking to interfere with the analysis. Great pod!
Terrible content
The content lacks quality and they prolong the podcast by repeating things over and over again. Absolutely horrible analysis and they act like they know their stuff but it’s the opposite. Don’t waste your time with this one and don’t subscribe to their site because more of the same is there.
To the host and others who contribute to it: don’t waste people’s time with irrelevant content. Don’t do a podcast if you are not going to put effort into it.
Great Podcast
Man, there a ton of people on here complaining about seemingly nothing. This podcast, mag, and website are all great in my opinion. There is new content almost hourly during the season and daily during the off-season. The magazine is thorough and they don’t try to sound as matter-of-fact as other outlets I subscribe to. Highly recommend!
