Hitters We've Overlooked In 2025

Eno and DVR discuss another round of news including Trevor May's induction in the Reading Baseball Hall of Fame, Tommy John surgery for Jackson Jobe, and a rotator cuff injury for Cole Ragans. Plus, they discuss the 'Urgency Index' of Trade Deadline needs, before looking at several hitters they've rarely discussed this season including Jeremy Peña, Hunter Goodman, and Ozzie Albies.
