Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with University of Oregon and UCLA alum, as well as, Athletes Unlimited member, the one and only, Brooke Yanez.
Brooke has had a fantastic career to date and she’s still going strong.  She was the 2018 Big West Freshman Pitcher of the Year and the 2019 Big West Pitcher of the Year during her time at UC Davis. She then transferred to Oregon where she became an NFCA All-American in 2021. Brooke would finish her college career up as a Bruin with UCLA where she would be named a 2nd team All-Pac 12 Honoree. She would go on to play last summer at Athletes Unlimited where she totaled 960 points.
We’re gonna talk to Brooke about how she got her start in the game, her days in travel ball and high school, her time at UC Davis, Oregon and UCLA, over coming injury to get back to the game she loves and much, much more.
Brooke was such a pleasure to chat with and I can’t wait to see whats in store for her going forward.  I’m sure whatever it is, it will no doubt be great.

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with 6 time ISC World Champion and 2 time WBSC World Cup Champion with the Aussie Steelers, the one and only, Nick Shailes.
Last time we had Shailsey on for a full episode was way back on episode 5 in July of 2020 and the world was right in the middle of a global pandemic.  A lot has taken place since then as he and the Steelers captured the 2022 World Cup down in New Zealand and the launch of HRD Bat Company has taken place and is really taking off.
Hopey and I talk to Shailsey about both those things, as well as, getting back to playing after the pandemic, how the Hill United Chiefs are looking for this upcoming season and that epic hole in one he got to win a truck at the Ken Hill Memorial tournament last summer.  Such an awesome story.
Speaking of awesome stories, make sure to listen to our intro portion, prior to Shailsey coming on.  Hopey’s story from his trip down south a few weeks ago is ridiculous, you’re definitely going to want to hear it.

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with 2018 All-ACC First Team selection, Duke University alum, and co-host of the Softball Speakeasy podcast, the one and only, Raine Wilson.
Like I said, this one is a dandy! Raine not only was a force to be reckon with during her time with the Blue Devils but man, what shes doing as an analyst on the ACC Network is fantastic.  Her easy demeanor and ability to construct whats going on during a game is absolutely awesome.
We’re gonna talk to Raine about how she got her start in the game, her journey to JMU, then on to Duke, that epic 2018 season she had, her career ending injury and much, much more.
Raine was such a pleasure to chat with, and I’m so excited to see where her future in the game is headed, because I’m sure the possibilities are endless for her.

Outside The Chute sat down and chatted with Oklahoma Sooners alum where she  was a 2021 National Champion and current Graduate Assistant with the University of Central Florida, the one and only, Shannon Saile. 
What a career Shannon has had so far. She was 2017 Conference USA Freshman of the Year along with being a two time First Team Conference USA pick during her time at FIU, and then a 2 time All-Big 12 Conference selection, along with being a National Champion during her time with the Sooners.
Shannon would then go on to play pro with the Florida Vibe after college and then has played the last two season with Athletes Unlimited. During this time she also has jumped into the coaching side of things where she was a graduate assistant in 2022 with OU and captured another National Championship and now with the UCF Knights where she has been since last season.
We’re gonna talk to Shannon about getting her start in the game, how she just wanted to pitch, the journey to FIU, the transfer to OU, of course the storied program of the Sooners and much, much more.
Shannon was such a pleasure to chat with.  This was one of those conversations that just kept flowing and I’m sure we could have chatted even longer.  This was a great one!

She led the Bruins to two NCAA College World Series appearances and was named to the 2022 Women's College World Series All-Tournament Team. Lanie then went on to play a pro season with the USSSA Pride before finding her home with Athletes Unlimited.  As a full time Assistant Coach with the San Diego State Aztecs this season, they currently sit with an 8-6 record and had a very strong showing at the Mary Nutter Classic this past weekend.
We’re gonna talk to Lanie about getting her start in the game, her time in travel ball and high school, the journey from LMU to UCLA, Athletes Unlimited and much, much more.
Lanie was an absolute pleasure to chat with.  We’re so excited to see what the future holds for her, cause no doubt its going to be fantastic with whatever it is she pursues.
