Mike Butcher joins Halo Territory hosts Mike DiGiovanna and Mark Trumbo to discuss baseball's velo obsession, the lost art of reading hitters' swings, how pitchers can go deeper into games, the importance of "down-and-away," and how there is--or should be--room for the input of scouts in a game that seems to suffer from information overload.

HIGH CEILING? Angels hope to hit jackpot with 2-way star Jared Grindlinger

Huntington Beach (Calif.) High School baseball coach Benji Medure joins Halo Territory hosts Mike DiGiovanna and Mark Trumbo to discuss Jared Grindlinger, the 17-year-old two-way phenom whom the Angels selected with the 12th overall pick in this past weekend's draft. Could Grindlinger be a two-way player in the big leagues? Can he add power to his elite bat-to-ball skills? What is his upside as a pitcher?
