The Rundown

Episode 56 - Badger Time, Mate!

January 27, 2025 • Mike Orth and Tori Holt • Season 3 • Episode 2

This week on The Rundown we are joined by Associate Head Coach of the Wisconsin Badgers, Michael Roberts! Coach Roberts has had an amazing career coaching at the NCAA Division 1 level, working at Washington during the Huskies three straight 40 win seasons from 2015-2017, and Oregon when in 2014 the Ducks went 56-9-1 advancing the the WCWS semifinals! Prior to his time at Wisconsin Coach Roberts also made a stop at Virginia serving as the Associate Head Coach and Pitching Coach and helped the Cavaliers hit the 30-win mark for the first time in school history since 2010. Coach Roberts has built successful and talented pitching staffs at each of his stops along the way, and is already making an impact down in Madison! He brings some amazing insight to this week's show and this is a great listen for all of us who want to coach better "in the circle." As always, thank you for listening to The Rundown!
