The next episode in FOX Sports Arizona's Emmy Award-winning series "Cup of Coffee with Steve Berthiaume" debuts Sunday, June 19, as Steve sits down for a wide-ranging conversation with D-backs 2015 All-Star and Gold Glove-winning outfielder A.J. Pollock.

The conversation includes an explanation about Pollock's unusual last-minute recruitment to Notre Dame, a key part of which happened in Arizona. He also opens up about his maturation as a person and ballplayer. He goes into why he left Twitter (and where you can find him on social media) as well as the fascination he and his wife, Kate, share  in travel (including photos from some of their travels around the world).

They also touch on their mutual admiration for New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and share their thoughts on "Deflategate."

Pollock tells Berthiaume he is optimistic about returning with a healthy elbow and explains how his rehab might make him even better when he gets back. The full episode can be seen only on FOX Sports Arizona immediately following Sunday's Diamondbacks-Phillies game (approximately 1:30 p.m.). Replays will be shown at 2 and 10 p.m.
