Episode Details

Chandler Simpson is making a triumphant return to his hometown of Atlanta as a Tampa Bay Rays outfielder, set to play before family and friends for the first time as a pro. Despite not hitting any home runs, he’s been absolutely dominant — leading MLB in hits and stolen bases last month while batting over .300. His game thrives on speed, smarts, and hustle. Facing off against childhood friend Michael Harris, Simpson also draws inspiration from veteran Rays hitters, recalling his own youth spent watching games at Turner Field — even confessing he once told Craig Kimbrel he’d attend games just to watch him pitch. This series isn’t just baseball; it’s a nostalgic homecoming for a player who’s grown into one of the league’s most dynamic talents.
