1 JASON VARGAS on Kansas City Royals Culture, Golfing with Tiger Woods, & Coaching Today's Youth 42:39
What’s it like to walk into a new clubhouse and see a fog machine, a Segway, and a teammate in a bear suit? For veteran pitcher Jason Vargas, it was his first taste of the wild energy that defined the Kansas City Royals. In this episode, Vargas shares how that group of "dogs" evolved from a fun-loving team to a contender, and the role he played as a veteran leader in shaping that winning culture. Vargas reflects on his own baseball upbringing, from learning the "right way to play" from his high school coach dad to embracing the legendary "dirtbag culture" at Long Beach State alongside teammates like Jered Weaver. He takes that same mentality to the golf course, sharing unbelievable stories of setting up tee times at the world's best courses and becoming a founding member of Mike Trout’s exclusive "Trout National". He even tells the incredible story of piping a perfect drive right in front of a watching Tiger Woods. Now, Vargas brings his lifetime of baseball knowledge to the next generation, coaching his son's youth team. He gives his unfiltered take on the current state of amateur travel ball, the challenge of teaching team fundamentals in an era of individual showcases, and the delicate balance of being both a father and a coach on the field. ------------------------- Hosts Eric Hosmer / @hosmer305 Mike Moustakas / @moosetacos8 Peter Moylan / @petermoylan Justin Su'a / @justinsua Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on: Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / TikTok Advertising & Partnership inquiries: diggindeep@moonballmedia.com a MoonBall Media Podcast…

In this interview, Oakland A’s slugger Brent Rooker opens up about his journey through the highs and lows of professional baseball, from being overlooked to becoming one of the most productive hitters in the league. Rooker discusses the power of social media, the mental toll of not getting consistent opportunities early in his career, and how the A’s finally gave him the runway to prove himself. He talks about adjusting both physically and mentally, working with performance coaches, and how his brain “keeps receipts” from every doubter. Rooker reflects on pivotal moments, including a college coach who believed in his potential to win SEC Player of the Year, being put on the taxi squad, and eventually stepping into the role of “the guy” in Oakland. He shares insight into the current A’s clubhouse, his thoughts on the future of the team in Sacramento, and what it felt like to put up back-to-back huge seasons at the Coliseum — including the emotions of closing it out on the final day. We dive into his work with the A’s hitting coach, his approach to simplifying the game, and how manager Mark Kotsay has impacted his development. Rooker also shares why he thinks college baseball is broken, what it was like at Mississippi State, and the challenges players face transitioning from college to the pros. He gives a raw look at life off the field — from bouncing between cities to the impact his wife has had on keeping him grounded. ----------------- Hosts Eric Hosmer / @hosmer305 Peter Moylan / @petermoylan Justin Su'a / @justinsua Interact with the Diggin' Deep Crew on: Instagram / Facebook / Twitter / TikTok Advertising & Partnership inquiries: diggindeep@moonballmedia.com a MoonBall Media Podcast…
