What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Baseball America has continually provided an immense amount of knowledge on up and coming prospects throughout the whole country. They do it in a way where it’s very knowledgable and concise making it for an easy listen. They also post very frequently and do it in a timely manner to where we, as listeners, can expect these posts to go up. Very nicely done

CamW’s takes · Sep 2026

Simply the best Draft, Prospect and College scouting content in their magazine, app and podcast. I don't always agree with their takes but it's always must read and listen if you want to know next wave of players.

Jims iTunes Account · Jul 2026

They do a great job of providing scouting reports to fans so they can better get to know prospects on their favorite teams and around the league. I really enjoy listening to them talk about every teams top prospects.

Man, there a ton of people on here complaining about seemingly nothing. This podcast, mag, and website are all great in my opinion. There is new content almost hourly during the season and daily during the off-season. The magazine is thorough and they don’t try to sound as matter-of-fact as other outlets I subscribe to. Highly recommend!

Grant Harley · Feb 2024

Guys I like your show, I do. But as a fan of college baseball in the western region it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the Pac-12. Saying that it is just too hard to watch the games from out here is a weak excuse. The PAC-12 has not been mentioned on your show for at least the last two weeks. We should have six teams get regional invitations if they do their job and you do yours in giving them the coverage they deserve.
