Today we are joined by a former professional baseball player, Independent film producer and Head of Content for Diamante Media Group, Zack Parker. Zack grew up near Austin, Texas and started his baseball career at a community college near there. He was draft-and-followed by the Rockies (which we explain on the episode), and he spent many years in the minors trying to make it to the big leagues. He was dominant in his early career and we discuss the game that really took him to the next level.We cover his stint in independent ball and how that brought back the joy of baseball for him, as well as his time playing in Taiwan and how that season led him to film. He returned to Texas to go to film school at UT which eventually helped bring him to Los Angeles. Zack talks about his extremely successful and award winning indy film, "Thunder Road", that he toured the world showing after it's success here in the states. He worked for MLB star, Trevor Bauer, at his media company Momentum for a short time before transitioning to Diamante Media Group out here in So Cal. We spend some time on the visionary Bauer and how he has become a positive disruptor in a sport that doesn't market it's stars...Enjoy the episode, and please don't forget to subscribe, RATE 5 STARS on Apple Podcasts and leave a great review if you like what you hear!Follow me:Instagram: @tootallsportspodcastTwitter: @TooTallSportsFacebook: Too Tall Sports PodcastSpotify: Too Tall Sports PodcastYouTube: Too Tall Sports PodcastEmail: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

Bob Scanlan - San Diego Padres Analyst and Broadcaster, Former MLB Pitcher

I had the opportunity to sit down with San Diego Padres broadcaster and on-field reporter, Bob Scanlan. The former major leaguer joins me today to discuss his early days growing up in Los Angeles and being a high school draft pick in professional baseball. Bob was traded for the "Wild Thing" Mitch Williams from Philly to the Chicago Cubs, and he explains what it was like to make it to the Big Leagues in the "Windy City". We cover what it was like this year in 2020, and how the logistics of baseball were conquered by MLB. The Padres had an amazing season, earning the moniker "Slam Diego", and were an incredibly fun team to watch this year. Bob tells us just how great Manny Machado and Fernando Tatis Jr. really are, and how they work every day to perfect their craft on the field. We also discuss the art of pitching and what he looks for in guys as he analyzes during a game. Finally, Bob tells us about his tough road to becoming a broadcaster and how he had to really put in the work at the lower minor league levels to become a confident on-air talent.Please enjoy, and don't forget to SUBSCRIBE, RATE 5 STARS and REVIEW on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and Spotify.Follow Bob Scanlan on Twitter: @heyscanFollow Me: Twitter: @TooTallSportsInstagram: @tootallsportspodcastWatch The Show On YouTube: Search - Too Tall Sports PodcastEmail: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.

You guys know I love the mental side of sports because it's so important at the highest levels of athletics and in life. Today on the Too Tall Sports Podcast, we discuss the new book called "Mentally Strong - 7 Steps to Becoming the Best Version of Yourself". Freddy Sandoval is a former major league player for the LA aka Anaheim Angels. He played college baseball at USD, University of San Diego and was drafted in the 8th round by the Angels back in 2004. Freddy grew up in Tijuana, MX and his childhood friend and Team Mexico teammate, was Adrian Gonzalez (long time big leaguer). A conversation later in life with him changed Freddy's life after they reconnected and it started to pave the way for him to take his physical game and mental game to the next level. The book is for everyone to improve their lives, not just elite athletes. The concepts, principles and 7 Steps, which we cover in the episode, are all so helpful to achieve mental freedom and well being.
