Top Louisville baseball prospect Dalton Rushing joins the 3rd & Central Podcast to talk about his career and the upcoming MLB Draft.
Louisville baseball had a bounce back season in 2022 following missing the tournament last year. One of the biggest reasons for the turnaround was Dalton Rushing, the top Cardinal prospect in the upcoming 2022 Major League Baseball Draft. He joined the 3rd & Central Podcast just days before the draft to talk about his career as a Cardinal and what’s ahead on his professional path.
Before Rushing joined hosts Matt Sefcovic and Aaron Turner, the guys took a look at the draft and each Louisville baseball prospect, including Rushing along with Michael Prosecky, Jared Poland, Cam Masterman and more. Where could they land? When will they come off the board? Each of those questions is answered on 3rd & Central.
Then, Rushing joins the boys to talk all things Louisville baseball. They get into his favorite memory, what it meant to put on the Louisville baseball uniform each day, learning from Dan McDonnell and what he’ll take to the league, MLB Draft Combine, where he wants to play, and much more.
