11 Years in Pro Baseball: The Truth Nobody Shares

I was drafted 9th overall by the Detroit Tigers in 2009 and signed for $5.5 million at just 18 years old. By 20, I was in the big leagues. By 25, I was barely hanging on. In this video, I share the behind-the-scenes truth about professional baseball that nobody talks about.
You'll learn:

How MLB teams investigate everything to lowball your contract
Why the draft is completely unpredictable (they told me they wouldn't draft me the day before)
The negotiation strategy I used to get $2M more than their first offer
How I lost nearly 50% of my $1.2M first paycheck to taxes
The "year one money trap" that causes 70% of athletes to go broke
What minor league life is really like (hint: it's not the red carpet)
Why winning trumps everything in professional sports

This is the raw, unfiltered story of going from a high school kid to a millionaire professional athlete, the financial mistakes I made, and the lessons I learned over 11 years in pro baseball. Whether you're an aspiring athlete, a parent, or just curious about the business of sports, this video pulls back the curtain on what really happens when you sign a multi-million dollar contract.
