Coach & Kernan Episode 89 ... A Day at the Yard Common Sense Pitching with Wiley & Will and special guest President of the Seattle Mariners Jerry Dipoto


Wiley, Will and Dave entertain special guest Seattle Mariner team President Jerry Dipoto. The former 3rd round pick gives valuable insight into the experiences that have lead to the evolution of one of the best baseball team builders in MLB. The lessons learned go all the way back to instructional league as a player to his time with Dan O'Dowd to present day experiences with contemporaries and thinkers within his own organization. We are treated to an introspective look on himself as a young pitcher, how he handles the multitude of inputs, the balance of analytics and baseball, his core tenants when evaluating a player, and the #1 question he asks when hiring a skipper. As a true leader he spreads the credit for both his and the Mariner's success around- Scott Servais, Perry Hill, Andy McKay, and of course Wiley and Will.
