About this listen

 Nick Morabito joins Meet at the Apple from the Arizona Fall League to talk about Binghamton’s championship season, stacking 49 steals (and why 50 slipped away), how the clubhouse kept rolling through big mid-season promotions, and why Mets fans should be very excited for 2026 and beyond. We also hit AFL life (housemates, no dishwasher!), that “Morabito at Mirabito” commercial, and his day meeting big leaguers like Nimmo, Alvarez, Alonso & Mendoza.
