Former MLB batting champion Michael Cuddyer joins Amazin’ Conversations to share incredible firsthand stories about watching Bo Bichette grow up inside a Major League clubhouse.

Cuddyer reflects on Bo taking batting practice with the Rockies at just 15 years old, the approach-based hitting philosophy taught by Dante Bichette, and why that foundation shows up so clearly in Bo’s game today. He also explains why Bo is uniquely prepared to handle New York, media pressure, and positional adjustments at the Major League level.

Plus, Cuddyer discusses his own career, winning a batting title, his time with the Mets, family life after baseball, and what makes great hitters and great teammates.
