Summary

The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns with the 2025 college baseball beginning this week. Shotgun Spratling and Jack Smith with another episode in our four-part season preview, leading up to the start of the 2025 USC baseball season. In part three of the season preview series, USC assistant and hitting coach Travis Jewett joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about growing as an offense in Year 3 and what the Trojans can do to drive the baseball more after having only 34 home runs as a team in 2024. He also discusses the strides the sophomore and junior hitters that were thrust into early roles the last two seasons have taken to become more impactful bats for the Trojans in 2025. USC's recruiting coordinator also chats about what it means to now have a nearly full roster of players the coaching staff recruited rather than inherited. Jewett discusses the hitters he’s excited about and how Ethan Hedges being used as a two-way player could create some extra opportunities. Among other players that are brought up, Jewett talks about the impact UNLV transfer Kade Higgins could have as a veteran with some pop, a recent extra-base spree from sophomore Dean Carpentier in practice and how sophomore Kevin Takeuchi has continued to develop his game. After a break, Shotgun and Jack then talk all things hitting with the position players taking center stage. They comb through the Trojans’ 2025 roster looking at what USC will have on the offensive side. The podcasting duo also supply superlatives for the Trojan bats, giving their picks for the team's best hitter, most impactful newcomer and breakout candidates among others.
