Description

In episode 184 of RizzoCast, we are joined by longtime big-league right-hander Dominic Leone, who pitched parts of 11 seasons with nine different MLB teams and played a key role in the San Francisco Giants’ 2021 postseason run!

We discuss his early years breaking in with Seattle, bouncing around the league as a high-leverage reliever, navigating the challenges of being a journeyman, and what it was like pitching in San Francisco during that incredible 107-win season. Dominic also reflects on facing the game’s best hitters, the mentality of bullpen life, and the moments that defined his decade-long career.

He also talks about growing up a Red Sox fan, his friendships and influences around the league, and the transition into retirement after the 2024 season. Plus, we get into his new chapter as a social media content creator on Instagram, how he approaches storytelling online, and what he hopes to build in this next phase of life.
