Hopping Around With Brandon Lowe + Challenging Pitches With Austin Hedges

On this episode, Mark Simon is joined by two major leaguers: Pirates second baseman Brandon Lowe and Guardians catcher Austin Hedges.

Brandon talked to us about how he's been one of the most improved defensive players in baseball this season and the one small change that made that possible. He also shared some behind-the-scenes of what went into making some great defensive plays.

Austin rejoined us after chatting with us about all things catching defense in 2019. We focused our attention on pitch challenges, both how he's handling them and the strategy that goes into whether or not to challenge a pitch. 

This is very much an episode for learning about how players do what they do defensively.
