Fielder’s Choice Podcast Hosted by 3 fresh umpires who offer a unique look into Boston’s vibrant amateur baseball scene.

Welcome to Fielder's Choice Podcast—where three fresh umps keep it raw and real, with a focus on amateur baseball in Boston. We’re not here for the big leagues—we’re here for the grinders, the lifers, and the weekend warriors who make local baseball what it is. Hosted by two dudes and one badass lady in blue, we plan to bring you unfiltered convos with players, coaches, and fellow umpires who live for the game.

This week we welcome father–son duo Bill and Tyler Ferdinand, whose story is one of the most remarkable in the BMBL. Bill founded the Middleboro Red Sox in 2008 when Tyler was just 13, and by age 17, Tyler joined the team—beginning a partnership that’s lasted ever since.

After 12 seasons without a Finals appearance, everything changed in 2020 when Bill handed the team over to Tyler and they rebranded as the Middleboro Mocka Rays. That same year, they captured their first 18+ championship, sparking a dominant era. The Mocka Rays have now reached six straight Finals and claimed four titles along the way.

We break down their journey, their bond, and what it takes to build a winning culture in amateur baseball.

It’s show time! Episode 26 had a little bit of everything. We talked gambling, we talked Hall of Fame, and we talked about what it was like getting scouted by the MLB with Boston Metro Baseball League 2x Cy Young Award winner Brock Riley!

In this episode, we’re joined by pitcher Brock Riley, whose baseball journey has taken him from Lowell High's Super 8 spotlight to Franklin Pierce, Division I UMaine, Salem State, the Futures League, and the prestigious Cape Cod Baseball League — where he was the only Division III player in the entire country with a full contract that summer.

Brock went on to pitch professionally in multiple MLB Partner Leagues and serve as assistant pitching coach for the Chatham A's and the Great Britain National Team, earning a silver medal at the 2023 European Championship.

After personal tragedy in 2024, Brock almost stepped away from the game — only to come back and dominate at the amateur level, becoming a back-to-back Boston Metro Baseball League Cy Young winner, an All-Star MVP, and a 2024 28+ champion with the Lowell Angels.
