Karl Ravech and Justin Musil welcome San Diego Padres starting pitcher Michael King to the show. A Rochester, New York native and Boston College product, King was a 12th-round pick who developed into a full-time starter with the Yankees before headlining the trade that sent Juan Soto to New York, and has since become one of the Padres' most reliable arms. Ravvy and Justin talk with King about his winding path to a big-league rotation, what it takes to reinvent yourself as a pitcher, and the mindset that's carried him through the ups and downs of a long MLB season.

On this part, King shares the importance of mastering pitches, what facing the Yankees was like this season, and the batters he doesn't want to see in the majors.
