In the fourth edition of the ‘CatCast, Mike Edwards and Josh Kozelj welcome the first British Columbia native to the podcast, Cade Smith. From pitching on the Hawaiian Islands for the University of Hawaii, to Vancouver Island for the summer, Smith opens up about going to school in Hawaii, what brought him here to Vancouver Island, and how being a multi-sport athlete as a kid helped him avoid burnout and develop the baseball skills he has today.

The ‘CatCast will be back every week this season featuring in-depth interviews with players and coaches to bring you closer to the 2019 HarbourCats and offer an inside look at what goes on around the team beyond the nine innings.
