The Voice of the Charleston RiverDogs (Single-A, New York Yankees) joins the podcast to share what he saw over the course of the 2019 season. Matt Dean starts by chatting about some of the bright stars who played down in Charleston this season including outfielder Canaan Smith who was both a mid-season and post-season All-Star in the South Atlantic League.
He also talks about the two catchers who were taken in the top two rounds of the 2018 Draft in Anthony Siegler and Josh Breaux. He discusses which one he was more impressed with and which one he doesn't expect to see at all in Charleston in 2020 as he rapidly moves up the ladder to New York.
On the pitching side of things, the hard-throwing quartet of Luis Gil, Luis Media, Roansy Contreras and Alexander Vizcaino all impressed at different points in Single-A throughout the year as well, and we get his take on which was the best of the bunch.
Stick around until the end of the podcast when Dean discusses one of the top promotions of the year in Minor League Baseball- Helen McGuckin Night- and how it came to be.
