PITCHING NOW AND THEN - The State of Pitching with former All Star Mike Stanton

New York Yankees pitching greatness, World Series memories, and baseball's evolving strategies take center stage as legendary reliever Mike Stanton joins Sully. Stanton reflects on his championship runs, including the dominance of the 1998 Yankees, his experiences at Old Timers Day, and the electric atmosphere of parades down the Canyon of Heroes. Standout moments with Derek Jeter, Mariano Rivera, and dramatic postseason showdowns rekindle the magic—and heartbreak—of October baseball. The conversation shifts to the modern game’s obsession with high-velocity arms, spotlighting flamethrowers like Jacob Misiorowski and Tarik Skubal, while questioning whether MLB is overlooking soft-tossers and “innings eaters” like Kyle Hendricks and Jim Clancy. Are analytics erasing the crafty pitcher from today’s rotations, and will a team disrupt the trend with pitchability over raw power? Stanton offers insider stories from the bullpen, touching on team chemistry, iconic managers, and why baseball remains the ultimate unifier. Follow Mike Stanton on the podcast Back to the Bullpen.
