Today I get a chance to sit down with a former 2nd round pick of the Houston Astros. He played his college ball at UC-Irvine and actually threw a no hitter while he was there. We discuss his rise in pro ball and how a tragic overnight bus accident partially derailed his promising career. We dive into the different stops and organizations he played for, as well as how analytics started to become more mainstream during his career. He is on his way to becoming a professional golfer.
