Connecting the Softball World
Outside The Chute is more than a podcast — it’s a place for the stories, people and history that make fastpitch softball special.
Hosted by Randy Frame and Chris Hopewell, Outside The Chute was created with one simple goal: Connecting the Softball World.
More Than a Podcast
From the biggest stages in the game to the diamonds and communities that keep fastpitch thriving, OTC covers the sport from every angle.
We talk with the players, coaches, builders and personalities who have helped shape the game — while also shining a spotlight on the next generation making their mark.
Covering the Game From Every Angle
Our coverage spans both the men’s and women’s game, including the ISC World Tournament, WBSC international competition, Canadian Championships, NCAA softball, AUSL, Team Canada and fastpitch communities around the world.
The Stories That Matter
But OTC is about more than scores and results.
It’s about the stories. The legendary players. The unforgettable teams. The championships. The rivalries. The people behind the game. And the history that deserves to be remembered.
Through the Outside The Chute Podcast, Player Spotlight, historical features, On This Day, Then & Now, original social content and more, we’re creating a place where fastpitch fans can celebrate the game’s past, follow its present and discover its future.
Whether you’ve been around fastpitch your entire life or you’re just discovering the game, welcome to Outside The Chute.
