About this listen

This week’s episode of the Rounding Third Baseball Podcast is one of the most exciting shows we have ever recorded. We were joined by 16-year MLB veteran Steve Trachsel, and he took us deep inside a career filled with incredible moments, challenges, and stories that only someone who spent nearly two decades in the big leagues could tell.

Steve opened up about what it was like pitching in New York during 9/11, sharing the emotions, the atmosphere, and the impact it had on players and fans. He talked about the reality of the steroid era, the way umpires really worked behind the scenes, and the day-to-day experience of life in the big leagues. His insight into the clubhouse culture, the hitters he feared most, and the pressure of pitching on baseball’s biggest stages gave us a rare look into the heart of Major League Baseball.

We also covered the latest MLB news, reacted to the biggest stories around the league, and wrapped things up with some fun trivia to lighten the mood.

If you’re a baseball fan who loves hearing the game from the people who lived it, this is an episode you won’t want to miss. It’s emotional, eye-opening, and packed with stories that remind you why baseball is so special.
