The Sugar Land, Texas, native turned 21 shortly after the 2021 season, a season of more change for him. Two years ago, he was traded from the Mets to the Blue Jays as part of the Marcus Stroman trade. He has continued to be pushed by the Jays and started the season in Double-A. In June, he traveled to Tokyo, Japan, as part of the Team USA Olympic squad. While he didn't pitch in a game, he was able to experience a great event and learn from manager Mike Scioscia and some of the other veterans on the roster such as Todd Frazier, Scott Kazmir and Edwin Jackson. 

The Twins traded Jose Berrios at the trade deadline in exchange for Richardson and Austin Martin. When he came back to the States, Richardson headed to Wichita and just worked by throwing bullpen before making a few starts at season's end. 

Let's get to know him!

Seth ... don't forget to unmute tonight ... 

[Squirrel]

Seth ... again with the mute? Are you doing that on purpose now as your 'schtick'?

Wow ... what a great kid! So fun, enthusiastic, he's going to be a great team guy. And the personality to be my favorite player when he makes it.

Ummm, yeah... it's my thing for every episode... Sad, but true, and I wish I could say it was intentional... 

And yes, Simeon was a fantastic guest. I really enjoyed it a lot!

Seth, thank you for these interviews. You did a really good job of making your young guest comfortable and kept your discussion friendly and appropriate in time. The players are sure to love the exposure. Simeon Woods-Richardson was a hoot; loved it.

Thanks Seth for revealing Simeon Woods Richardson for us. It was great to see his love and exuberance for baseball. I expect great things from him. I'm a great fan of Johann Santana and his circle change up, I'd like to see them hook up and perfect Richardson's

What a great interview with an exciting young man.  Is the sky the limit for this kid?

Thanks Seth.
