In this episode we speak with Jim Negrych, former professional baseball player and current professional baseball scout for the St. Louis Cardinals organization.

I grew up playing baseball with Jimmy and it was clear from an early age that he was levels above the rest of us. But he didn’t rest on that talent alone. Jimmy worked his tail off as a youth player in the Buffalo, NY area to the point that he earned a college scholarship to the University of Pittsburgh. At the college level his talent and hard work continued to pay off, as he was named an All-American twice and eventually drafted in the 6th round by the Pittsburgh Pirates. At the professional level, Jimmy took to some old school, no-nonsense coaching and leveled up the hard work even more, earning success as a multiple-time all-star teams and being named the Pirates Minor League Player of the Year in 2008.

After his baseball career, Jimmy could have taken his career in a variety of different ways but decided that he wanted to continue following his passion for baseball. He became a scout for the St. Louis Cardinals organization where he now scouts baseball players in the Northeast region of the United States. By following his dreams, Jimmy gets to be around the game of baseball that he loves and not only identify the next stars, but also mentor young players.

Listen in to hear Jimmy’s story about a love for baseball and a career centered around that love.
