MLB closer Josh Hader signed for $40,000 after being chosen in the 18th round of 2012 MLB Draft out of high school. 10-plus years, seven big league seasons and three trades later, the lefty has been on the last five NL All-Star teams,  he is MLB's all-time leader in strikeouts per nine innings with 15.0, as well as batting average against at .156. "Haderade" and show host Matt Stucko go way back to Hader's days in the minors and Stucko covering top prospects. While Hader was never a highly-touted prospect, the two hit it off when they met in Lakewood, NJ during Hader's Single-A days and they kept in touch supporting each other every step of the way to their current day success. Hader hops onto the show to talk about his career, off-field ventures and more with Stucko on this episode of Keep Swinging.
