Riverhawks Head Coach Jake Lanferman
from Inside Sports · host CHED / Curiouscast
The Edmonton Riverhawks find themselves at 6-11 through their first 17 games and looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they continue a critical road trip before returning home next week. Riverhawks Head Coach Jake Lanferman joins the show to assess where his club stands compared to expectations coming out of spring camp, whether the record accurately reflects the way his team has played and where he's seen the most growth since Opening Day. We'll also discuss the factors behind the slow start, the consistency of the pitching staff and whether a few costly innings have been the difference between several wins and losses. Coach Lanferman shares what the Riverhawks look like when they're playing their best baseball and identifies the areas that still need to improve if the club is going to climb the standings. Plus, we take a look at the ever-changing nature of summer collegiate baseball, including the possibility of roster additions as the season progresses and where the organization may be looking to add depth. We'll also spotlight one of the brightest stories of the season so far, as Easton Andrews continues to tear up the West Coast League. Hitting .404 and leading the league with 23 RBIs, Andrews has been a driving force offensively, and Coach explains what makes him such a difficult matchup for opposing pitchers. Finally, we discuss the importance of this road trip, the leadership voices emerging inside the clubhouse and why Lanferman remains confident that this team has its best baseball ahead of it despite the challenging start.
