We kick off the second hour of The Starting Lineup with an absolute insider look into the high-stakes world of baseball! Ned Reynolds, Scott Puryear, and Art Hains are breaking down the modern complexities of the NCAA transfer portal with Missouri State's Director of Recruiting, Kyle Cliff. We get an update on how the Bears are tracking players in the Midwest and adjusting to brand-new roster rules.

Later, Scott drives a hot-button local conversation as longtime coach Mark Stratton dials in to give a searing critique of the newly approved high school drop-six bat rule, detailing why it poses a major safety threat to kids on the diamond. Finally, we bring on the man of the hour, Caden "Bogey" Bogenpohl, as he reflects on his spectacular career with the Bears, his chart-topping exit velocities at the Arizona Combine, and the emotional anticipation of tomorrow's MLB draft.
