Matt Midkiff has been the head baseball coach at Swarthmore College in Pennsylvania since 2013. Host J-Rob attended Swarthmore College from 2015-2019, and just so happened to be a member of the baseball team there as well. And to top it off, Swarthmore went to the Division III World Series in 2018 (which, if our math is correct, occurred when both of those two were around the fieldhouse!). So as you can imagine, the two had a couple things to talk about. These included:
· Rapid Fire!
· The moment Middy knew coaching was the career path he wanted to follow
· Looking back on his early coaching career and the road he took to Swarthmore
· Developing trust between the players and coaching staff and setting expectations for incoming recruits
· Self-Trivia!
· A whole lot of reminiscing about that 2018 season
· Goals for the future of the program
· Fantasy Draft of the “Matts” of MLB
· And of course, Middy wrote his LL2B!
