We welcome recently retired 13-year MLB veteran first baseman Eric Hosmer to the latest podcast. We discuss his path to being a #3 overall MLB draft pick, and what made him not only a fast riser through the minor leagues, but also a guy who immediately “stuck” in the big leagues. Eric speaks to how a young Royals team ascended to a World Series championship, and how the game evolved – especially for hitters – over the course of his career. He also reflects on what strategies kept him durable, and how various coaches impacted him along the way.
