The Cold Weather Bats crew teams up for a special crossover episode to break down eight key districts ahead of the 2025 MHSAA Baseball Playoffs — four from Division 1 and four from Division 2.

Joining the show are:

• Michael Rubenstein and Nick Swanson from Spittin' Seeds

• Dan Greisbaum Jr. representing Cold Weather Bats

• Griffin Green from Bald Banter

Together, we dive into the toughest matchups, sleeper teams, and potential fireworks in next week’s action. Plus, we talk top-tier playoff atmospheres around the state and what makes certain districts special this time of year.

Whether you're a coach, player, or just a fan of Michigan high school baseball, this episode has something for you.

We are back for Episode 4 of Spittin' Seeds, and it’s a loaded one. We kick things off with a Michigan high school baseball update and dive into what May really means for coaches and players — from playoff prep to managing the mental game.

We spotlight our latest Patreon post on how to keep developing when you don’t have a field (hint: no excuses). Then, it’s the great travel ball debate — is going out of town really helping, or just draining wallets?

Nick drops a rant on travel team classifications that’s guaranteed to get some nods (or eye rolls), and we wrap with our new segment: Ban It. Hear what we’d gladly remove from youth baseball forever — and send us yours to get featured in future episodes.

Hosts Griffin Green and Taylor Grzelakowski sit down with guests to discuss their paths through the college baseball recruitment process. Tune in for real stories, helpful insights, and a closer look at what it takes to make it to the next level.

In this episode of the Super 25 Roundtable, the CWB crew and special guests dive into the latest rankings, standout performances, and the biggest movers of the week. Who’s rising, who’s slipping, and which teams are making serious noise? We’ll debate it all, share some bold predictions, and spotlight a few under-the-radar squads you need to keep an eye on. Grab a seat — it’s time to talk shop with the best in the game!

We’re back with another episode of Spittin’ Seeds, presented by Cold Weather Bats! This week, Michael Rubenstein and Nick Swanson dive into the grind of early spring baseball in Michigan — soggy fields, frozen hands, and why it’s all worth it. We also spotlight the USSSA Spring Kickoff, talk about the summer ball mindset, and share a game-changing hitting drill for balance and power. Plus, Nick goes on a certified bunting rant (and you’ll want to hear it). And to wrap it up? We draw some surprising parallels between The Masters and youth baseball — mental toughness, patience, and that one dream ballpark you’ll never forget.

In the debut episode of Bald Banter, we’re pulling back the curtain. It’s a raw, real intro to who we are, what this podcast is about, and why the world of baseball recruiting needs more honest conversations. We share stories, set the tone, and give you a preview of what’s to come — from future guest interviews to behind-the-scenes insights and the kind of talk you’d hear between coaches after the game. Whether you're a player, parent, or just love the game, this is where the journey starts.

Episode 2 of Spittin' Seeds is here, and we’re coming in hot. Nick was MIA, but he's back now as we dive into a packed week across Michigan baseball. We break down MHSAA Opening Week, check in on college teams and standout players, and introduce a brand-new segment: Rant of the Week—where Michael goes OFF about sliding mitts (you’ve been warned). We’re also joined by a special guest: Adam Goodwin of Prep Baseball Report. He talks scouting, player development, and what to watch for this spring and summer. Plus, a look ahead at more youth and summer baseball coverage on deck. Tap in, subscribe, and don’t forget—we’re just getting started.
