Show Notes

Ryne Stanek and Jalen Beeks were once teammates with the Razorbacks. Now, after taking two very different paths, they're teammates again with the Tampa Bay Rays, and are part of a grand pitching experiment. We dive in to the "opener" role that Stanek has taken on and how he likes it (3:50), and his journey to the big leagues (10:00). We get into what it was like for him to get the call to the majors (13:20) and how he still follows the Razorbacks (16:09). Next, Beeks joins the pod and talks about how his JUCO experience helped pave the way for him to make it to the show (20:47). We chat about how playing at Arkansas helped prepare him for where he is today (27:21) and, finally, get his thoughts on the Hog baseball program today (29:43).
