  • Postseason Schott Factor
    Jun 8 2024

    On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, we have a special postseason version of the Schott Factor, where Stephen Schoch once again sits down with Texas A&M’s ever-exciting Hayden Schott to catch up on how he has been since they last talked. He has been able to do some fun things in the past couple of weeks, such as seeing the SEC Tournament in Hoover for the first time and participating in a home regional and now a super regional. So, we ask him what it was like to be a part of a team that was tasked with such a challenge. We have appreciated getting Hayden’s insight all season long, and selfishly I am hoping for the Aggies to make it to Omaha so I can see my friend Hayden and his friends out there! '

  • Kentucky's Johnny Hummel Joins
    May 20 2024

    On this episode of The Schoch Factor Podcast, Stephen Schoch is joined by Kentucky closer Johnny Hummel. Johnny has had an awesome collegiate career that started back in 2019 at Erskine, where he was trying to become a catcher for the Flying Fleet. After a number of years, Johnny ultimately found his way to the mound and began finding out that's where he truly could contribute. While still maintaining his catcher duties in the fall, sometimes Johnny would stop catching bullpens to throw one of his own, but it wasn't until later in his career that he truly became a P.O. Fast forward a couple of years and now he is the closing pitcher on one of the hottest teams in the nation. Hear about how he did all of that and more in this week's episode!
