Listen "Pete Walker Preps for Pitchers and Catchers in Dunedin"
Episode Synopsis
Jeff Blair and Kevin Barker are joined by Blue Jays pitching coach Pete Walker (0:22) from Florida, as they discuss the state of the starting rotation, how they're aiming to repeat the successful (and healthy) season the starters had last year, where Alek Manoah is at in his 2024 preparation, and what Yariel Rodriguez might contribute as one of the newest pitchers on the roster. Plus, Walker discusses the bullpen, including a fully healthy start to the season for Chad Green - is the Jays bullpen being slept on? Afterwards, Blair and Barker chat the process of getting ready for exhibition games over a month before meaningful games begin, and Barker shares his experience on what it's like trying to prove yourself at this stage of the season. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.
