College softball and baseball are currently in the full swing while in conference play. Major League Baseball is about to have its Opening Day for the 2026 season, BUT I am ready to share my experience with you in attending the 2026 World Baseball Classic here in Houston, TX. I love all things baseball and softball, and this World Baseball Classic ranks very high as one of my favorite sporting events to watch and attend. I am so happy to share with you why.

Baseball and softball are sports that continue to attract new viewers both professionally and collegiately. This past weekend, I had the opportunity to talk to the VP of Bruce Bolt and the GM of the Atlanta Smoke (Professional Softball League-PSL), Eric Mays. Bruce Bolt recently sponsored a college, baseball classic (tournament) in Houston, TX at Daikin Park. With athletic gear that assists players on the field to perform at their best while also guiding professional softball, Eric Mays discusses how both of these are essential at leading our young people and the sport forward and how we can be prepared for what's to come regarding both equipment and play on the field.

The time is almost here...THE 2026 WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC! This is one of the most exciting times that baseball fans will experience, and I want to make sure that you are covered in knowing which teams will be playing in which pools, who is projected to win the pools and be runner-ups, and who will ultimately take home the title of the World Baseball Classic Champion. 2026 is set to be even more exciting than 2023, and I cannot wait to experience this moment with you. I also have some college softball and baseball updates because the seasons are starting off in ways that have already left fans breathless. Ultimately, baseball and softball are underway in 2026, and 10th Inning Talk has covered all bases to keep you ready for each moment.

Last year at the HBCU Classic, I had the pleasure of meeting two people who were happily cheering on their sons. I had a great conversation with them while also meeting their two sons, Paxton and Peyton, who played on opposing teams during the classic tournament. As they continue their collegiate journey as student-athletes, I had a discussion with both about their journey in college, what motivates/inspires them, and what they expect for the upcoming 2026 season. It's always special when we get to experience brothers play a sport that they love. It's even more special when they play competitively on opposite teams, ESPECIALLY in the sport of baseball. Tune in and learn more about Paxton and Peyton Huff as they join the 10th Inning.

We are all familiar with College Baseball, Major League Baseball, the Winter Leagues, and even the upcoming World Baseball Classic. However, there are some people who take their baseball talents and play overseas. Troy Justice joins the 10th Inning to discuss how he learned about overseas ball, how he's adapted, and how others can join in on this incredible experience in different parts of the world. This is great episode where you learn how your dream can be extended outside of the U.S.
