McPherson talks about his path to the mound: falling for the game at nine, his velocity jump after an injury his freshman year of high school, committing to State, and coming back from a UCL injury. He explains why the Dude and its record crowds felt like the closest thing to pro ball, and what it’s been like playing for Brian O’Connor, who he calls the best coach he’s ever had. Looking ahead to 2027, he’s refining his slider, cutting down on big misses, and has switched to a “quality over quantity” throwing program to protect his arm. He also covers staying present through the SEC grind and leading by example as a third-year arm. The episode wraps with a rapid-fire round on Zaxby’s, golf struggles, his pick between facing Ohtani or Mike Trout, his game-day superstition around the number four, and his walkout song.

The class is defined by an elite shortstop crop, with seven in the top 10 led by Dylan Seward, Carter Hadnot, Malachi Butler, Graham Houston, and Sebastian Castillo, and nearly all of them carry strong gloves. The crew debates whether the right-handed-heavy pitching group is a strength, how the class compares to 2023, 2024, and 2025, and whether Seward looks more like JoJo Parker or Grady Emerson. Each host then makes his standout picks. They close with sleepers who didn’t make the board.

Coming off a 34-21 year and a trip to the Lawrence Regional, Hawkins shares his path from Toronto to Springfield: playing on the Bears’ 2015 super regional team, starting out in junior college coaching, working at Saint Louis University and in the St. Louis Cardinals’ player development system, and becoming just the third head coach in program history. He explains how he blends the legacy of Keith Guttin with the realities of the modern game, how a leadership council inspired by Mike Matheny helps develop the next wave of team leaders, and why “togetherness and identity” set teams apart in the transfer portal era. Hawkins also discusses the depth of Conference USA, the home-field edge at Hammons Field, new facility investments, and what could be the most talented roster in Missouri State history. Stick around for the fun questions, including his dream team to coach, his game-day rituals, and his favorite baseball memory.

Mark, Josh, Will, and Jared snake-draft full rosters, with one player at every position plus a DH, a utility spot, an extra infielder, and eight pitchers each. Only D1 stats from a player’s time at a mid-major count. From Golden Spikes winners like Kris Bryant and Kyle Lewis to aces like Chris Sale, Paul Skenes, Trey Yesavage, and Jackson Flora, the board is so deep that nearly every pick gets a nod of approval. That makes the Payton Tolle “utility” pick and the long list of All-Americans who went undrafted even more fun.
