The Power of Youth - Catcher's Corner Episode 8

Hosts Eric Samulski (@SamskiNYC) and Sami Akleh (@Believe_Sami) chat with Fantrax prospect hound Eric Cross (@EricCross04) about what we can expect from some young starting pitchers for the rest of 2021, and then "E.C." gives some predictions of when some of the top prospects in baseball may be up in 2021 and if fantasy managers should be stashing them.
