This episode of the Black Baseball Mixtape is special. For the first time, I (Cheats) did the podcast on location at the Diamond, the home of the Richmond Flying Squirrels, in Richmond, Virginia. Our featured guest is Dylan Smith, right-handed pitcher; Erie Seawolves. Dylan is the #15 prospect in the Tigers organization. He played his college ball in the SEC at the University of Alabama. He was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2021 draft. Our conversation runs the gambit. We talked about his all-minority travel team (the Monarchs) that helped him fall in love with baseball, some of the challenges he faced in college, and working to improve his skills every day at the pro level. We also discuss his favorite players, music artists, MLB the Show, and who he would like to face in a dream match-up (spoiler: It's Mookie Betts). You don't want to miss this conversation.
