From Air Force to the Show - Ft. Minnesota Twins' Pitcher Griffin Jax

From Air Force to the Show - Ft. Minnesota Twins' Pitcher Griffin Jax

The first-ever athlete from the Air Force Academy to make it to the big leagues.

Long-time Push Athlete and Minnesota Twins Pitcher Griffin Jax joins the podcast.

We discuss:

  • His unique story as he served active duty time for the Air Force around the same time he got drafted.
  • Getting called up and adjusting to the big leagues.
  • Hitting after not swinging a bat since high school.
  • How analytics can be a separator, but keep your competitive drive.
  • Why proper nutrition is critical and controlling the things you can control.
  • And more.

“There have been no guarantees in my career. I felt like I had to work a lot harder than a lot of other kids. Because of that, I think I appreciate the smaller things a lot more.” - Griffin Jax
