The Red Black Green Baseball Podcast - The guest of the first episode is Tahnaj Thomas, a twenty-two-year-old starting pitcher who is a top prospect in the Pittsburgh Pirates farm system from Freeport, The Bahamas. The former shortstop was one of the top Bahamian prospects who was eligible to be signed during the 2016 J2 Signing Period for international amateur prospects, but his path completely changed when a Cleveland Guardians scout named Koby Perez convinced Thomas that his future as a professional baseball player involved toeing the rubber. This is Tahnaj Thomas's story through his own words.
