020 - From Undersized to Untouchable - The Journey of Dustin Pease
Description
In this episode I chat with my former college teammate Dustin Pease - a Baltimore native, D1 Freshman All-American, Pitcher of the Year, professional pitcher and owner of Pease Baseball Professionals. We dive into his lessons learned as a youth, to his journey becoming a college standout, to his gritty pro career.
Dustin shares how he embraced his unique sidearm delivery and mindset to succeed despite being undersized.
We also discuss his transition to coaching, the founding of PBP and the importance of mental toughness, hard work and creating a culture for his players.
This is a must-watch for athletes, parents and coaches.
