Rolsey and Eric take a proper deep dive into the WBSC U-15 Baseball World Cup in Mexico, looking at all 12 teams before the tournament gets underway.

The boys break down both groups, the nations and players to watch, why pitching depth becomes so important in this format, and the different pathways countries use to build teams at this age level. We also spend plenty of time on Australia, their returning international experience, and what they’ll need to do in a seriously tough Group B.

There are traditional powers like Japan, the USA and Chinese Taipei, but plenty of intriguing challengers too, including Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Cuba.

And part of the fun of a U15 World Cup is having absolutely no idea which of these names we’ll be talking about again in five or ten years.

Eric will be on the ground in Cancún covering and calling the tournament, and we’ll have full tournament coverage throughout the World Cup on the Baseball Expats Instagram.

Spoon joins us from Bergamo, which naturally gets the boys talking about one of the great Baseball Expats questions: where in the world is actually the best place to follow Major League Baseball? We then compare the time zones that make being a baseball sicko either surprisingly easy or a genuine lifestyle choice.

We then check in on Destiny Draft as the standings tighten, take the temperature of Spoon’s futures, and look at a few of the young arms that have given us plenty to think about this season.

From there, Rolsey brings some baseball trivia to the table, including a very specific Triple Crown rabbit hole, before we get properly nerdy with perfect games, no-hitters and immaculate innings and discover just how rare some of baseball’s supposedly familiar feats actually are.

Then Spoon closes us out from Italy with his best bets for the midweek slate.
