In this episode of the Hog Pod, Arkansas ace pitcher Hunter Dietz opens up about the adversity, mindset, and work ethic behind his breakout season. From battling injuries and nearly entering the transfer portal to becoming one of the nation's best strike throwers, Dietz shares the mental journey that changed his career.

Hunter talks about learning to trust his body again, transforming himself after weighing 280 pounds in high school, and the mentality built inside the "Dietz Dungeon" — the family garage gym that helped shape his rise. Plus, he dives into the psychology of pitching, the trust he has in catcher Ryder Helfrick, and why he still feels like his best outing hasn't happened yet.
