With Major League Baseball cracking down on the use of foreign substances by pitchers, White Sox lefty Carlos Rodón discussed the topic with Chuck Garfien. Rodón talks about why he doesn't use any extra substances while he pitches and criticizes the decision to punish pitchers and not Houston Astros players who cheated in 2017 and 2018. The conversation also covers his no-hitter, his increased velocity, the Cy Young-caliber season of Lance Lynn, and more.
