The Miami Marlins are two weeks into spring training and the World Baseball Classic is right around the corner.

This week’s episode of Fish Bytes combines both of those topics.

Miami Herald beat writer Jordan McPherson talks with Marlins bullpen coach Wellington Cepeda about his coaching journey that has spanned nearly two decades, his relationship with pitching coach Mel Stottlemyre Jr. and the excitement to be the Dominican Republic’s pitching coach for the World Baseball Classic.

Afterward, McPherson dives into what he has seen throughout the first two weeks of Marlins camp and the first three games, from the pitch clock to specific players impressing, Eury Perez’s spring training debut, Sixto Sanchez’s status and more.
