Talking Baseball with Matt Tenuta
Matt Tenuta is currently having a great season in the Mexican League for the Mariachis de Guadalajara, and we recorded this episode shortly before the season started.
This is a fantastic conversation where I learned a lot from Matt about best and worst practices from various organizations, the importance of having a short memory as a pitcher, and what it was like to grow up in a family of star athletes.
