The Pacific Ocean separates two baseball worlds, and David MacKinnon has hit (… just a few) home-runs in both.
About us…
David also played alongside Shohei Ohtani (we couldn’t refuse the name-drop, sorry Shohei) in the Major Leagues and is the only player in the history of baseball hit a double in a King Kong suit.
Now, alongside journalist and baseball enthusiast Jasper Spanjaart, Pacific Swings brings you inside baseball’s most fascinating frontier. Which is a fancy word for: abroad…
No, weren’t kidding about the King Kong suit…
Go inside the clubhouses (sort of)
From Japan’s masterful blend of tradition and innovation to Korea’s dynamic, high-energy approach that’s revolutionizing the sport, they’ll bring you exclusive, in-depth interviews with the stars who know these worlds best — from homegrown legends to the players who crossed the Pacific — sharing the untold stories, lessons, and triumphs that shaped modern baseball.
Exclusive breakdowns
You’ll get David’s exclusive breakdowns of facing some of the world’s most elite pitchers — like what it’s really like stepping into the box against some of the best young pitching talent in the world: players like Yoshinobu Yamamoto and Roki Sasaki.
Plus deep-dive analysis of how the Korean and Japanese leagues are shaping the future of baseball, from training methodologies to the tactical stuff.
@readers: Dave wants you to know he *actually* hit a home-run off Yamamoto…
