Opening Week is in the books, and the Clinton LumberKings are off to a competitive start in the 2025 Prospect League season. Hosts Andrés Tejeda, the Voice of the LumberKings, and on-field host Chris Mickelson break down all the action from the first six games — from a dominant Opening Night shutout of the defending champion Illinois Valley Pistol Shrimp to a gritty split with the Springfield Lucky Horseshoes and a tough pair of losses to the rival Burlington Bees.

We also catch up with two LumberKings players — pitcher Jaqson Tejada and outfielder Brayden Mulkey — for a quick look inside their Opening Day experience and how they’re feeling after week one. With a .500 record at 3-3, the Kings are already showing flashes of brilliance, including a combined 24-0 score across two shutouts against the Pistol Shrimp.

Plus, we preview the team’s first major road trip of the season, a six-day stretch from June 3 to June 8 that will test the depth and chemistry of this year’s squad. It’s a shorter episode, just over 30 minutes, but it’s packed with insight, interviews, and all the early-season storylines you won’t want to miss.
