We break down the Vikings' start to the season, the pitching rotation, and some fresh names to watch. Addison reflects on his record-setting 2022 season, and the excitement of upcoming trips to Fort Myers and Iowa City (vs the Hawkeyes), where he’ll face some familiar faces from his Northwoods League days.

Plus, we talk about playing in historic Terry Park, working at the Arsenal, favorite baseball memories, and, of course, the best food spots back home in Colorado. Want to know what actor he chose to play him in a move? Then tune in for a great conversation with one of Augustana’s most experienced arms!
