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.

In this first part of our interview with the Padres' Ace, King dives into his upbringing in the Northeast, his time at Boston College, and his advice for young athletes who want to get the most out of their sport.
