    Episode 198 - Odicci Alexander-Bennett

    Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with just an absolute star in our game, JMU alum and AUSL Bandits pitcher, the one and only, Odicci Alexander-Bennett. Odicci first captured the hearts of fans across the country during her unforgettable run with James Madison University at the 2021 Women’s College World Series, where her dominance, passion, and pure love for the game made her a household name.   Since then, she’s continued to inspire — from her professional career and coaching, to being a role model for the next generation of athletes who dream big and play bigger.   We’re gonna chat about her incredible journey, learning to pitch against her grandparents water well, that iconic WCWS moment, her transition to the pro level, life off the field, and so much more. Odicci was such a pleasure to chat with and I’m so excited to see what's in store down the line for such a huge influencer in our game. Remember, while you’re here make sure to drop a comment on the show and give us a follow and some sort of rating.

    Episode 197 - Josh McGovern

    Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with 2024 ISC Champion and 2022 WBSC World Cup Champ, Aussie native, the one and only, Josh McGovern. This was such a great chat that Hopey and myself got to have with Josh.  He took time after travelling over 40 hours to come on and chat with us from down in the Dominican where he was playing in the Legends Cup this past weekend, so we can’t thank him enough. We had a great talk about how he got his start in the game, the role his family played in his development, competing with the Aussie Steelers to capture the 2022 World Cup in New Zealand,  his time on the ISC circuit with Hill United and now the Bear Creek Gremlins and so much more.

    Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with , two time NJCAA D1 National Player of the Year at Northeastern Oklahoma A&M college, two-time All-Big 12 First Team selection with Oklahoma State University, and current pro over in the Netherlands with the Haarlem Sparks, it’s the one and only, Rylee Bayless. Its funny, most of these interviews I do, especially on the women’s side of the game, I go in not knowing how the conversation is going to flow, you know, is it going to be tough getting a great chat going, how is their sense of humor going to be, all that stuff.  Well, let me just say that Rylee surpassed every expectation I had.  This chat was absolutely amazing, I don’t think I laughed this much in an episode ever. Trust me, you’re gonna love this one.  We chat about Rylee getting her start in the game, thanks to her dad and brother, who may or may not be missing some clothes from back then, we chat about her recruiting process, her time at college, competing at the pro level, and so much more. Before we get to it, remember, while you’re here make sure to drop a comment on the show and give us some sort of rating.

    Episode 193 - Jimmy Moore

    Outside The Chute were lucky enough to sit down with one of the best pitchers to ever play our game, its ASA, ISC and USA Softball Hall of Famer, the one and only, Jimmy Moore. In the words of Doug Roberts, Jimmy could “hit the dick off a hummingbird”, no word of a lie, he said that in his episode with us! That just shows you how accurate and deadly he was off the mound during the 80’s and early 90’s. We talk to Jimmy about getting his start in the game, which believe it or not, was at short and 3rd, his days in the NorWest League, his time with the Seattle Pay n Pak, and so much more. Jimmy was an absolute pleasure to chat with.  Hopey and I were so pumped he took time out of his schedule to come on and talk ball with us. This was such a great chat.
