There R Giants Pod-255 with Henry Lalane and Luis Piño

To get you ready for Game One of the Eugene Emeralds’ quest for their third NWL Championship this decade, I have a conversation today with the Game One starter, Henry Lalane, who is a new arrival in the Giants’ organization. With the help of pitching coach Luis Piño, who served as translator, Henry talked me through his baseball history, how he keeps his mechanics locked in, health issues he’s gone through, and what his proudest achievement in 2026 is. Then Piño gets the mic turned on him, as he talks me through the transition from player to coach.

Make sure to tune in tonight for the first playoff games for both Eugene and San Jose.
