The projected-first-rounder discusses why his brother influenced him to become a lefty hitter, his history at the shortstop position, what he’s taken from the style of baseball played in Korea and how he implemented it into his game and what he’s most looking forward to in becoming a pro-ball player.Later, Jake & Jordan talk about a major change happening mid-season at the Triple-A level to its replay system and why that system could show up in the majors sooner rather than later.(0:59) - A word about this special episode(3:09) - Thoughts from the combine(10:12) - The importance of being in Arizona(12:15) - Who is JJ Wetherholt?(14:13) - JJ Wetherholt interview(19:42) - JJ on playing shortstop(28:50) - Impact of Korean baseball on his career(31:26) - Most excited about pro-baseball(33:44) - Triple-A changing review systemFollow the show on X at @CespedesBBQFollow Jake @Jake_MintzFollow Jordan @J_Shusterman_?️ Watch this full episode on YouTubeCheck out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
