Outfielder Jordan Rogers and pitcher Caden Favors discuss uniform choices, falling in love with baseball and best and worst walk-up songs on the team. Favors explains his many roles on the staff, including last season's run as the "opener." Rogers talks about "energy vampires." We also break down airplane comforts, newcomers to watch and how the Shocker coaches provided support during a time of transition.
