    14 – Home Runs, Hustle & Hollywood Hopes
    May 9 2025
    Home Runs, Hustle & Hollywood Hopes

    Home Runs, Hustle & Hollywood Hopes lights up this episode of The SLIDE Podcast as 10-year-old Mikey Tolentino from Santa Clarita, California, shares his big-league aspirations. A standout first baseman for TBI National 10U Gold, Mikey’s love for the game is as strong as his belief in himself, on and off the field.

    From calling plays in the dugout to catching throws at first base with a regular glove, Mikey’s passion for the game is evident. Whether it’s visualizing Dodger Stadium or swapping jokes with the hosts, he brings infectious energy and confidence. “I feel like I’m a West Coast rapper,” he jokes, nodding to his love for music and future ambitions beyond the ballfield.

    From Backyard Baseball to Big League Dreams

    His first over-the-fence home run came at just age 7. And what made it better? He hit it with a Marucci Cat 7—a throwback to when hot bats were built for feel, not flash. His eyes are firmly set on the MLB, but if that doesn’t pan out, Mikey is ready to pivot toward acting or becoming a music artist.

    More Than Just a Ballplayer

    In addition to baseball, Mikey spends time on VR games, Fortnite, and shooting hoops in the backyard. Despite his love for gaming, he still values time outside with friends and family. His favorite subject in school is math, and his current walkout song? “TV Off” by Kendrick Lamar—because every star needs a soundtrack.

    Home Runs, Hustle & Hollywood Hopes proves that when you combine talent with heart, anything is possible. This episode is a testament to chasing big goals with confidence and staying true to your passions.

    Guest Quote: “If I’m 21 right now or in the league, my walkout song would be ‘TV Off’ by Kendrick Lamar.” – Mikey Tolentino

    13 – Built Different, Powered by Grit
    May 2 2025
    Built Different, Powered by Grit Built Different, Powered by Grit kicks off with a powerful return from the Twinstripe Reporters and TrippDog, bringing their baseball energy and signature fun to the mic. This time, they welcome 14-year-old Hayden Clark, a young athlete whose resilience and heart set him apart in every way. From the moment Hayden shares that he’s a bilateral amputee, it becomes clear this episode isn’t just about baseball — it’s about grit, mindset, and proving the doubters wrong. Overcoming Doubts and Living the Game The key phrase takes on new meaning when Hayden reveals how he started playing baseball not just for the love of the game, but to silence those who said he couldn’t. As Tripp puts it, “He’s an 8-Eleven superstar out there.” Hayden, who had both legs amputated at age nine, explains that his drive comes from being told “you can’t.” His story shows how much heart it takes to keep going—and how much fun he has doing it. He even crafted makeshift legs from wood blocks and duct tape just weeks after surgery to walk again. As Hayden says, “Just do it. That was my mindset.” Baseball, VR, and a Whole Lot of Hustle Outside the ballfield, Hayden is a VR gamer, a golfer, and a master of MLB The Show, boasting a 99 overall team rating. The crew shares laughs over VR fails and deep dives into positions on the field—Hayden prefers third base and the corners, where the action is fierce. His mindset on the game is unmatched, and he’s even made money from bets with kids who didn’t believe in his abilities. An Unforgettable Surprise and Big League Dreams In a heartwarming twist, Hayden is surprised live on the show with a gift box from JH Performance and Rad Woke Up Rad—plus the promise of gear from Bruce Bolt and Easton, and Stinger Spots owner Brandon Eaton shared a great message and is giving Hayden a brand new glove. But the highlight? An invitation from Vincent “The Dancing Umpire” Chapman to a sold-out Savannah Bananas game in Houston, with over 40,000 fans. Hayden’s reaction says it all: “That’s pretty good. Pretty big.” “What’s the worst that can happen?” When asked what he’d tell someone scared to chase their dreams, Hayden didn’t hesitate: “Just go practice. You’ll eventually make it if you want it that much.” His confidence, resilience, and humor made this one of the most unforgettable episodes to date. And when asked who inspires him most? “The man in the mirror.” Enough said. Walkout Song “Luther” by Kendrick Lamar Quote from the Guest:“They said I couldn’t play. That’s why I started playing — to prove them wrong.” – Hayden Clark Check out another inspiring story on our show:Gameface Gracie’s journey in softball Learn more about adaptive sports resources like NubAbility:NubAbility Athletics Foundation Follow The SLIDE Podcast!

    12 – All Gas, No Brakes: Kalea & Jace Bring the Heat
    Apr 25 2025
    All Gas, No Brakes: Kalea & Jace Bring the Heat Sibling Stars Making Waves in Youth Baseball and Softball All Gas, No Brakes sets the stage for a high-octane episode featuring Kalea and Jace Winston—siblings who are proving that talent, work ethic, and leadership can all run in the family. Hosted by Coach Aaron with co-hosts Banana Jake and Lily Scott, the energy never dips as these two rising stars talk about their journey through elite travel ball, their goals, and their business acumen. From Kalea’s MVP-winning softball season to Jace’s 15 home runs in 2024—including a 350-foot bomb—these two athletes are bringing the heat and then some. Yet, it’s not just about home runs and highlights. Listeners get to hear what drives them, how they push each other, and why they launched The Winston Vibe, a glove and merch company designed for ballplayers like them. Winston Vibe: The Glove Brand Born from Ambition The Winstons didn’t just want to wear the best gear—they wanted to make it. With support from their parents and a relentless entrepreneurial spirit, they created The Winston Vibe, a brand delivering affordable, customizable gloves for players who want more control over their equipment. As Jace puts it: “We wanted cheaper and more customizable gloves—so we just made our own business.” Their passion for quality gear and their deep baseball and softball IQ make this venture more than just a side hustle—it’s a statement. Bringing the Heat On and Off the Field Kalea shares her passion for slapping and her ability to track rise balls with precision, revealing insights into what it takes to be a dynamic leadoff hitter. Meanwhile, Jace, a switch-hitter who’s more comfortable from the right side, reflects on being invited to SelectFest, playing for Team Zilla, and even launching bombs off elite pitching. The episode dives into training habits, pregame rituals, and how the two keep each other sharp. Their competition fuels their growth—especially when it comes to who’s faster. Rising Leaders with College Dreams and Big Goals Though young, Kalea and Jace already think like leaders. Kalea’s goals extend to playing for Duke and potentially studying athletic training. Jace, too, eyes Duke and talks about finding a balance between performance and academics. Their walk-up songs say it all—“Here I Go” by Mystikal and “They Just Don’t Know” by Gyft, each one capturing the energy they bring to the field. Baseball, Softball, and the Winston Mentality This episode showcases more than impressive stats. It’s about grit, vision, and heart. With Lily Scott and Banana Jake joining the conversation, it’s also packed with fun debates, great questions, and unforgettable quotes. The sibling dynamic is authentic and uplifting—a reminder that greatness grows where hard work and family support collide.
