I’ve been very fortunate when it comes to being able to sit down and talk shop with some of the best minds in the Baseball industry on my Podcast. Although I have thoroughly enjoyed each and every one of my Podcasts; the show I did with Casey Smith was absolutely fantastic. So much so that we talked for a combined 2 hours and had to break the episode into 3 parts! I wanted to create a page in which you can view the entire show with Casey Smith featuring all 3 episodes. Below you will find Topics, Sound Bites, and Links for each of the 3 episodes we did together. Casey is one of the most intellectual Baseball minds that I’ve ever gotten that opportunity to talk to. His ability to talk hitting is a true testament to his passion for it. I highly encourage you to head over to Casey Smith’s Instagram as well to learn more about all things hitting.
