30 Clubs in 30 Days: Albert Pujols Grooving His Swing

I handled location audio for this ESPN 30 Clubs in 30 Days feature on Albert Pujols during spring training. The series covers every MLB team in the lead-up to Opening Day, which means quick production cycles and a lot of spring training facilities across the country.

Spring training in Arizona (Cactus League) is a recurring part of my work — the facilities are local, the access conditions are well established, and the acoustic environments are familiar. Player features in this format involve field-side coverage during drills, interviews in the dugout or clubhouse, and batting practice footage. Pujols was still with the Angels at this point, working on his swing mechanics — the kind of candid baseball content that works well in audio.
