March 14, 2021 Brady Singer played in the SEC for three seasons before being drafted by the Kansas City Royals, so he faced a ton of talented hitters prior to starting his professional career. Pitching for the University of Florida from 2016-2018, Singer matched up against the likes of JJ Bleday, Nick Senzel, Bryan Reynolds, and Evan White. Easy marks were few and far between. Which of his collegiate opponents does Singer recall respecting the most?

If there is any organization in baseball where you wouldn’t NOW expect players to break the rules, it might be Cleveland. Except, welp: Jose Ramirez also found to have violated coronavirus health and safety protocol — he was with Franmil Reyes — and so Ramirez and Reyes will be kept away from the others in the Indians' spher...
