Chapter 1: Who is Kyson Witherspoon and what makes him a standout player?
Yeah, there should be some passion. This doesn't have to be boring.
You don't get bored by baseball. Okay, one thing the game needs is more people like you. You. You.
You. You. You. You.
You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You. You.
Welcome to Baseball Isn't Boring. Here's your host, Rob Radford. There is nobody on the planet I'd rather be talking to more than Kyson Witherspoon right now. That is a fact, and I have two people with me who can back me up on that. Sammy and Gordo from Play Tessie, a Baseball Isn't Boring production. Yes, I'll scream it from the mountaintops. Play Tessie, a Baseball Isn't Boring production.
Sammy and Gordo, do you concur with what I just said?
I mean, you have said that to me before.
I've also done that. Now I feel like you lied to me. I was. I was lying to both of you. I'm not lying to Kyson. You're choosing Kyson over us. Yeah, I guess that is a fact. It's true. It's true.
I mean, Sammy, we didn't get that treatment on this call. He only gave it to Kyson.

Chapter 2: What was Kyson's experience like learning a new pitch in a viral video?
I want to jump all the way to, well, Benjamin Button this. We're going to jump to the future. You don't know what I'm talking about with Benjamin Button, do you?
The name sounds familiar. I don't know enough about it.
Yeah, it's a movie about a guy who is born old and then he dies. Oh, yeah. He ages backwards. Yeah. Gordo's looking at me. No, I knew.
I knew.
You know you do not.
I did. I know Benjamin Button. I do. I've never seen it, but I know it.
For Kyson's purposes, Sammy, you can help with this. What is the pop culture thing that Gordo didn't know of the many, many that we're just like, I can't believe he doesn't. I remember that when we were comparing Peyton Tolley to Paul Bunyan, he had no idea who Paul Bunyan was.
The Lumberjack.
Thank you. But what was the thing, Sammy, that Gordo just had? We're like, what's wrong with you?

Chapter 3: How has Kyson's journey changed from a year ago?
You're pitching an important game to the major leagues. And the guy who – there's guys in the Red Sox organization who are like that, but Trey Savage is to be like that guy. Yeah. So what I'm saying, Kyson, you can be Trey Savage, right? That's the dream.
That's the dream.
I mean, but that's what I'm saying is that for a guy like you, that must be – because this happens more and more. For a guy like you, that must be like, all right, this year could be something.
Yeah.
Yeah, I mean, it's definitely a thought in my mind. I know that everything goes well, God willing, it could happen, but just got to handle my business where I'm at. Then we'll see where it goes.
All right. Well, like you said, you mentioned how you have evolved. There's a lot more machines. And we're going to get right to that video that, you know, I'll call it viral. You guys, would you concur? Viral? Viral? Yeah. All right. Viral. You have three for three. Viral video. Okay. And it was you at driveline. You went to driveline. How long were you at driveline? Just a few days?
Yeah, I was there. I think I worked out four times. I was there for an agency golf tournament, and then I needed somewhere to throw, and then my guy had me up there, so... Oh, really? Yeah, learned the sweeper there, and now it's pretty fun to throw.
I thought that a golf tournament ends up with a new sweeper.
That's a good tradeoff.

Chapter 4: What specific improvements has Kyson made to his pitching repertoire?
Not a great home run derby. I've got to be honest with you. Who was the guy who – they didn't even know who won. The kid from Louisville went to Louisville. Who was it?
Zion Rose?
Chapter 5: What is the significance of Kyson's training at Driveline?
No, it wasn't him. I'll think of him. But anyway, guys, what else you got?
I got a non-baseball question because we've only spoken baseball and golf. Baseball isn't boring. Golf, you know, maybe in between. What are you into completely separate from anything sports related? Just a weird interest, if you will.
I mean, I'm pretty big into video games. We get done with the field, everything's done, I'm playing on my Xbox. I'm a big, I've been playing Valorant a lot, Valorant with my brother, and then Rocket League 2, and then COD with the house. We're getting a party, we're running some COD. Do you ever gamer rage? I try not to, but I've been holding it enough. Can't break anything.
I got expensive stuff.
Don't do it, dude. Security deposits in Florida are like nightmare. Yeah, don't do it.
I'll take off the headset and I'll take a little breather for a minute.
You do MLB The Show? A little bit, yeah. All right. So one of my favorite things last year was realizing that players contacted MLB The Show to have them change their skills, to have them change their ratings. Remember that, guys? Yeah. But then I found out, like, minor leaguers were doing it. Noah Schultz of the White Sox.
So I don't know if you – just keep that in your back pocket if you want.
I haven't been told to change anything, but I had gotten a card from the draft that it was like a public card everyone had, and I had my Real 99, and I got to choose my pitches for the Real 99, and I gave myself a sinker. I don't throw a sinker, but I needed a sinker for the show because it's one of the best pitches in the game. So a little cheese there.
