How Yency Almonte Reinvented Himself with the Dodgers

This week, CC and Ryan are joined by one of the most prolific young relievers in baseball and a breakout star last year for the Los Angeles Dodgers, Yency Almonte. Yency breaks down how he reinvented his pitching arsenal after transitioning from the Rockies to LA, overcoming the lowest points in his early career, stepping into championship expectations, and why he believes the Dodgers' winning culture will propel the team this season despite losing core players. He also details his 305 roots and how competing alongside guys like Manny Machado and Nestor Cortés have helped shape who he is. The crew closes out by covering the impact of the MLB's new rules from a pitching perspective, Yency's father's baseball academy, and goals for the 2023 season. Get to know a fresh face in Los Angeles and soon-to-be household name in Yency Almonte on the latest R2C2.
