This week, we take a look at a man who was accused of something pretty terrible, but he continued with his baseball career, like it never happened, even going on to be a World Series champion.

And it's not the end, as his other accused crime may even be scarier than the first, this time involving kidnapping & gunplay! The end of the episode will be quite the surprise, as well!! It's as wild ride!

Theo Epstein spent nine seasons with the Cubs from 2012-20, responsible for producing the club’s first World Series championship in 108 years in 2016. Prior to leading the Cubs front office, Epstein served as General Manager with the Red Sox, also helping them break a long championship drought in 2004 with the franchise’s first World Series championship since 1918.

On this episode, Epstein discusses his work as a consultant with Major League Baseball, including the implementation of several new rule changes in the minor leagues, plus his charity work, his thoughts on one day leading an MLB team again, and much more.

Ryan Dempster welcomes 29-time Emmy award winner and 2018 Hall of Fame inductee Bob Costas to the podcast for an extended interview about all things baseball and his best memories calling Cubs games at Wrigley Field.

How did MLB Top 50 draft pick Matt Mikulski go from Fordham University to the big leagues?

There is a tremendous amount of talent at all levels of baseball. You don’t need to be a Division I player in a top conference, such as the ACC or SEC, to be noticed and ultimately, drafted to play professionally. 

My guest on this episode, Matt Mikulski, is a perfect example of this. He was recruited by Fordham as an undersized left-handed pitcher and ultimately, worked hard to develop into one of the best pitchers in America as a senior.

Matt talks about how he has developed as a player and a person, and how his willingness to improve made him a top 50 pick in the 2021 Major League Baseball draft by the San Francisco Giants.

What was your biggest takeaway from my conversation with Matt Mikulski?

For me, it was that being humble and coachable can lead to long-term athletic success. 

Matt took his lumps as an undersized freshman recruit at a mid-major baseball program to become a top 50 Major League Baseball draft pick through hard work and the willingness to learn. 

Further, Matt stresses that the name on the front of the jersey isn’t as important as the desire to be great and having confidence in yourself.

My suggestion to high school student-athletes would be to have a long-term vision to fuel daily motivation to get better. Where you start is not remotely an indicator of where you can finish.

I want to thank Matt for his kind generosity and the wisdom he shared with The Freshman Foundation Community.

You can find Matt on Instagram @mattmik_44.

You can learn more about The Freshman Foundation on our website at freshmanfoundation.com.

Thank you for listening. We’ll see you back soon for Episode 19!
