This week Three of my McGeorge Students interviewed two Major League Baseball players. Tyler Soderstrom is the left fielder for the A's and was just extended for 7 Years. Cole Carrigg played at San Diego State and was drafted in 2023 in the second round by the Colorado Rockies. They discuss navigating their careers from high school to college to the pros, and role their agents played along the way. Thanks you Tate Soderstrom, Amanda Carlson, and Joe Anderson for participating in the this interview.

He also discusses his training regimen as he prepares for Pro Day and explains how his athleticism sets him apart from other long snappers as he adapts his game for the NFL. The episode concludes with a candid conversation about how the effects of revenue-sharing are entering locker rooms and impacting team morale. Tune in to learn more about Wesley Brown's path to the 2026 NFL Draft and what it takes to stand out at one of football's most specialized positions.
