TOO SHORT??? Special Guest A's 1st Round Pick Drew Burress

The Port Report lands a huge interview as A’s first-round pick Drew Burress joins the show to talk about his whirlwind journey from Georgia Tech to being selected No. 8 overall in the 2026 MLB Draft. Burress opens up about the emotional end to his college career, playing alongside his Georgia Tech teammates, adjusting from metal to wood bats, his first week of professional baseball, and what it feels like to finally turn a lifelong dream into reality. He also explains why Georgia Tech was ultimately the best decision for his development and how he is building a routine for the grind of professional baseball. Burress also addresses one of the biggest knocks that followed him throughout his career: his height. The Georgia Tech home run king explains why being labeled “too short” motivated him, how he developed the strength and power to compete against much bigger players, and why he believes production ultimately matters more than measurements. The Port Report also breaks down the impressive debuts of Roman Martin and Alex Sosa, the Stockton Ports' playoff chase, Mason Patel joining the organization, the development of several pitching prospects, and what the firing of David Forst could mean for the A’s organization moving forward.
