This week Andrew talks with former MLB outfielder & World Series Champion Kevin Kiermaier. Throughout the course of his MLB career, Kevin was arguably the best defensive player in all of baseball — a 4x Gold Glove winner and the recipient of the Platinum Glove in 2015 as the American League's top defensive player. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at how it all happened. You'll hear how a conversation with a scout in college changed Kevin's trajectory — and everything he did after to propel himself to the big leagues. This is a story of humble beginnings, self-belief, & remarkable determination. If you are trying to accomplish something ambitious, this episode is for you. ** Follow Andrew **Instagram: @AndrewMoses123X: @andrewhmosesSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletterDISCLAIMER: This podcast is solely for educational & entertainment purposes.
