Listen: #OnFriar Podcast – Sam Levitt Explains Why Gore and Other Padres Prospects are Worth the Hype

Fernando Tatis Jr. and Chris Paddack have arrived. MacKenzie Gore, Luis Patino and Taylor Trammell appear to be next.

With another wave of young talent on the way, Amarillo Sod Poddles play-by-play broadcaster Sam Levitt joined On Friar to discuss the Padres top prospects. A group he saw help lead Amarillo to a Texas League Championship in their inaugural season.

An unforgettable season in so many ways...and now I’ll always have something to remember it! 💍💍
