  • How Derrick Eddington Went from UP Underdog to 100 MPH Rays Prospect | The Up & In Show

    How Derrick Eddington Went from UP Underdog to 100 MPH Rays Prospect | The Up & In Show
    Jan 23 2026
    Derrick Eddington’s journey doesn’t look like the typical prospect story — and that’s exactly why it matters. In this episode of Up & In, host Anthony Ranaudo sits down with Derrick Eddington, a Tampa Bay Rays pitching prospect from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula (“Yooper” roots), to unpack the long road: small-town life, family and brotherhood, injuries and setbacks, indie ball grind, and the turning points that helped him unlock elite velocity — all the way up to touching 100 MPH and earning his shot in affiliated baseball. They talk: Growing up in the UP (and the perspective it builds) Being a basketball-first athlete + a brutal wrist injury JUCO to D2, shoulder surgery, and rebuilding from scratch The indie ball ladder (USPBL / Frontier League) and getting noticed The moment the radar flashed 100 What “pro” really means: daily intention, routines, and recovery The mindset shift Derrick wants this year: consistency + moving on fast after a bad outing If you’re a player, parent, coach, or fan who loves the behind-the-scenes reality of development — this one’s for you.

  • Tommy John Surgery, Youth Pitching Injuries & the Mental Side of UCL Rehab | Frank Alexander, MS, ATC

    Tommy John Surgery, Youth Pitching Injuries & the Mental Side of UCL Rehab | Frank Alexander, MS, ATC
    Jan 9 2026
    Youth baseball injuries are rising — and Tommy John surgery is no longer just a Major League problem. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Frank Alexander, longtime collaborator of Dr. Christopher Ahmad, head team physician for the New York Yankees, to break down the real state of UCL injuries in baseball — from Little League to the Major Leagues. We cover: Why UCL injuries and Tommy John surgeries are skyrocketing in youth pitchers The mental and psychological toll of elbow injuries (including PTSD-like symptoms after surgery) Why velocity obsession, showcases, and TrackMan culture are hurting long-term development The difference between Tommy John surgery, UCL repair, and internal brace procedures How seasonal timing, career timing, and development windows should guide rehab decisions Why distance-based throwing and elbow torque matter more than radar gun numbers How parents, coaches, and athletes should approach rehab, showcases, and long-term health This conversation is essential for baseball parents, pitchers, coaches, athletic trainers, and sports medicine professionals who want to understand how injuries actually happen — and how to prevent career-ending mistakes. 🎧 Topics include: Tommy John surgery explained, youth baseball pitching injuries, UCL rehab timelines, sports psychology in baseball, velocity vs health, pitching development, and modern baseball sports medicine.

    Mike Steele On What Really Makes a Big Leaguer | Baseball Development, Resilience & Coaching | The Up And In Show
    Dec 19 2025
    Former professional pitcher and elite development coach Mike Steele joins Anthony Ranaudo on the Up And In Show for one of the most honest conversations on player development you’ll hear. Raised in Michigan and guided by his grandfather, Mike’s journey took him from junior college baseball to Central Michigan, into professional baseball with the Detroit Tigers, and eventually into coaching at every level — college, professional organizations, and now as a leader in player development at Stevens Complex. In this episode, Mike breaks down:
    • What actually separates players who make it from those who don’t
    • Why developing the person matters more than mechanics alone
    • Lessons learned from coaching inside MLB organizations (Pirates, Guardians, Yankees pipeline influence)
    • The balance between old-school coaching and modern analytics, biomechanics, and motor learning
    • Why resilience, discipline, and mindset still beat talent alone
    This is a masterclass in pitching development, coaching philosophy, and leadership, and a must-watch for players, parents, and coaches who want to understand what the next level really demands. 🎧 Subscribe for more conversations with elite athletes, coaches, and leaders inside the game.
