Baseball Radio National

Welcome to the weekly wrap up of all MLB and Australian Baseball news.

First off this week the boys caught us up with what is happening with the latest rumours of player movement in the Major Leagues and also discussed the movements of the young Aussies in the Minor Leagues.

Next up this week the boys spoke the ABF’s National Programs Manager Ben Foster. Ben gave us a good inside to the leadup of this years Claxton Shield Competition. Also announced was that the draft of players from the ACT and NT was held today with each state being allowed to “draft” up to 3 players. The 1st round of selections in the draft were Phil Brassington selected by SA, Steve Kent by Vic, Michael Collins by Qld, Sam Thornton by NSW and Nick Kimpton by WA. Further draft selections will be announced shortly. All states must submit their final Claxton squads by the 21st of November.

Rounding off the show the boys gave us a wrap up of the latest action from the Baseball Victoria competitions.
