Does your 10-year-old really need a $500 bat? Former Big Leaguer Zach Lutz joins the show to cut through the noise of the "Youth Sports Business" and get back to what matters.

We are LIVE in the Jay Bird Watching Bar Room! 🍻
Tonight, we are stepping away from the offseason news for a moment to talk about the future of the game. We are joined by Zach Lutz (former NY Met & NPB pro) to discuss how his playing career transformed into a passion for mentoring youth athletes.

Youth sports has become a massive business, often losing sight of the most important factor: FUN. Zach breaks down how to help young athletes reach their peak potential without the burnout, the pressure, and the unnecessary price tags.

In this episode, we discuss:
⚾️Why expensive gear doesn't replace mechanics.
⚾️The transition from Pro Ball to Mentorship.
⚾️Navigating the toxic "business" side of travel ball.
⚾️How parents can support their athletes (the right way).

Whether you are a Blue Jays fan, a baseball parent, or a coach, this is a conversation you should dive into. Grab a pint, your favorite snack, and pull up a bar stool! Join us in the LIVE Chat
