Since his positive test, Chris has dedicated himself to clearing, not just his own name, but the names of 21 more players that have been hit with inexplicable positives from this same (increasingly dubious) test.

How does it feel to be at your highest high, on top of the world, and then take the biggest fall you could ever imagine? Can you bounce back? Can you find the mental strength to keep going? What if your very character and integrity are called into question? You’ll find answers to these questions and more in this episode.   Chris Colabello is one of the great Cinderella stories. He was undrafted out of Division II college and played 7 years of independent league baseball in Worchester, MA, for the Tornadoes. He made some swing changes with the help of a hitting coach named Bobby Tewksbary, and the two of them began a meteoric rise to the major league level. Chris ended up hitting in the middle of the Blue Jays lineup in the 2015 ALCS, which was one of the best offenses ever. I wanted to have Chris on the show because he is thoughtful, genuine, and about as open-hearted as a pro athlete gets about the mental game, leadership, and the struggles he’s faced and overcome. He’s also from my hometown of Milford, MA, and our dads grew up playing together in high school and college.   Today we pick up right after Chris found out he had tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs (PED’s) and cover the work he is doing today in educating young ballplayers and making his way back to the majors. Join me now for Part 2 of my conversation with Chris.   What you’ll hear in this episode:   When you feel that your ability to prove yourself is very limited and “you are basically screwed.” How this ripped his life apart and caused him to scrutinize every detail to figure out how he could have ingested any banned substances Why he went in 5 days early that season for his physical and drug test, never suspecting that he would end up with a positive result The suspension, the ramifications, and the presumptions from the outside world The fear that his character and integrity would be questioned Why he won’t apologize for something he didn’t do and why he doesn’t feel that he deserves this After his suspension, Chris was optioned down to AAA and did not perform well DFA’d (designated for assignment) by Toronto Why Chris saw a psychologist because he needed extra support Last year, he signed with Cleveland, went to Spring Training, and was sent to AAA When Chris needed help again because of the anxiety attacks and depression that kept him from enjoying the game Let go by Cleveland and signed by Milwaukee to a wonderful experience in AAA Why Chris’ baseball career is on hold right now The book he wrote with Bobby Tewksbary: Be a Hitter Being a good hitter is so much more than good mechanics, but takes mental and emotional preparation. Baseball is truly “the thinking-man’s game.” What Chris says about the opportunities he has had at the highest level: “To put becoming a great human at the forefront of your daily life is everything. With that comes leadership. Figure out how to have a positive impact on the people around you and make the world a better place.” What it means for Chris to live with “no regrets” What Chris says about his life today: “I’m secure in who I am and how I feel People are more likely to listen to me My platform has expanded I can better the game on a broader level with today’s youth”   Resources: Find Chris on Twitter: @cc20rake Find out more about the book: www.tewkshitting.com  and www.hittingdaily.com

Adam McIntuff of Baseball Prospectus' scouting/prospects team stops by to discuss some of the better prospects in the Jays system as the team heads into the non-waiver trade deadline. Greg and Josh also go over the post-break slate of games, with a particular focus on the leaky bullpen and its potential reinforcements, Marcus Stroman's adjustments, the returns of Jose Bautista and Chris Colabello, and the tight race in the AL East.
