MLB: Dodgers Star Ohtani Short-Listed for National League Hank Aaron Award

As an athlete, part of the climb is reaching the top and often, fame and wealth steal the spotlight, but what's not really discussed, is how a simple game can shape one's identity and provide purpose. In a recent conversation on The Pivot, former MLB All-Star Matt Kemp joins Ryan, Channing, and Fred to unravel the multifaceted journey of life as a professional baseball player. Kemp shares a blend of funny anecdotes and honest reflections, providing a glimpse into the complexities of his career from a small town guy to the big lights of Los Angeles, and the extra pressures that came with playing in the limelight of a big city. From the challenges of adapting to life in various cities to the weight of fame under the spotlight of Los Angeles, Kemp's experiences paint a picture of the highs and lows that come with being a professional athlete. As Matt navigated the transition into retirement, He compares that time in his life to mourning a family death, juggling all the emotions of losing something you love while facing the uncertainties that lie ahead. In 2011 Matt Kemp finished second in National League MVP voting to Ryan Braun, and he talks about his reaction to later finding out Braun tested positive for PEDs that season. He won the Hank Aaron Award that year, though, and Kemp reflects on being biracial in baseball as well as the African-American mentors he had in the sport. Still tough to rationalize missing out on that feat, Matt talks about life now, and leaving the baseball to pursue mentorships and other business endeavors. Throughout the episode, Kemp provides valuable insights into broader themes such as race, identity, and the ever-evolving landscape of rookie vs veterans in the locker room. Playing for the LA Dodgers came with high expectations between living in Hollywood, access to celebrities combined with a fast pace lifestyle while putting up a league high MLB numbers, Matt shares how the pressures sometime were too much to handle and only increased as his personal life took center stage to media outlets and blogs. The guys chat about Matt's adjustment to fame- from the media's accountability to the dating scene, which Channing can't help but ask about his relationship with superstar Rihanna. From his mom and dad helping him choose baseball in Oklahoma to Torii Hunter and Don Newcombe guiding him once he reached the majors, Kemp gives praise to the many people who helped him reach the success he had. Yet today he is no longer an active baseball player, and he talks about the unknown struggles of retirement and entering a new chapter as a dad.

The Braves have traded Jake Odorizzi to the Rangers in exchange for LHP Kolby Allard. Both teams are hoping for upside in each player. Aaron Judge & Paul Goldschmidt won the Hank Aaron Awards in the AL and NL, respectively. The Hank Aaron Award is given to the best offensive performer in each league. All this (and more) on today's episode.

Kevin starts the episode by talking about all the awards that have been handed out. He talks about the Gold Glove winners, and how the Cardinals made history being the first team with five winners. He then talks about the Silver Slugger Award winner, as well as the Hank Aaron Award and Reliever of the year awards. Kevin then discusses all of the recent player and team options that were declined or accepted. A few teams and players have opted in for next year, while the majority of players are testing the market. The big decision was JD Martinez who has decided to return to the Red Sox for another season. Kevin wraps up the show with all of the latest rumours happening across the league. The shortstop market is one to watch and reports are that upwards of 13 teams are interested in the "big 5". It will be fascinating to see where they end up.

Justin and Patrick are BACK with a new (long) episode of Bat Flips and Maple Dips. The guys begin with a chat about the CFL and talk Black Widow and Shang-Chi. Jumping into the MLB the guys talk Buster Posey's retirement, Gold Glove, Silver Slugger, Hank Aaron Award and World Series. The meat and potatoes of this episode is the annual tradition of player grading. In this episode the guys focus on pitching. Surprisingly there are more than a few top grades given out! We will be back with a new episode in a week and with batter grades in the coming weeks!

The Eagles are sitting at 3-6 on the season with a new coach, QB, new offense, and new philosophies. The Sixers are currently at 8-4 w/ half of the team out from COVID-19.  They are also trying to navigate without Ben Simmons (who will likely never play another minute for the Sixers again). The Flyers are 6-3-2 trying to bounce back from a COVID riddled season.  This is enough for me to realize that ALL of these teams are trying to find their way.  They are all going through a youth phase where they are not contenders at the moment, but time will tell in their respective seasons if they will become contenders in the near future.   I encourage us all to exercise some patience and show some grace to these teams (and that's hard for me to say because I've been EXTREMELY hard on the Eagles and their coaches this year).   Additionally, shoutout to Bryce Harper for the winning the Hank Aaron Award for the NL.....Next Up, MV3!!!!! Follow me on all social networks (@fourfor4podcast and @fourfor4pod on TikTok) If you would like a hoodie (pictured in the episode art), please contact me directly.   I am currently taking pre-orders and will submit the orders at the END OF THE MONTH!!!! .....and last but not least, please rate, subscribe, and SHARE SHARE SHARE this pod!!!!!! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Albert Pujols is arguably the best baseball player of this generation. The Los Angeles Angels first baseman is in his 21st season, and in that time he's stacked up a body of work that will likely make him a first ballot Hall of Famer. He won two World Series championships three National League Most Valuable Player awards with the St. Louis Cardinals. He's a 10-time All-Star, two-time Gold Glove Award winner, six-time Silver Slugger Award winner, and was the National League Rookie of the Year in 2001. He's also won the Hank Aaron Award twice, in 2003 and 2009. His accomplishments on the field speak for themselves, but he's equally as proud about his work off the field. That's most of what he talks with Scott Linebrink about in this conversation. Pujols and and his wife Deidre run the Pujols Family Foundation, which bills itself as "a national not-for-profit agency that exists to honor God and strengthen families through our works, deeds and examples." He won the Roberto Clemente Award in 2008. In this conversation, he also shares his testimony about how and when he gave his life to God and how his faith shapes everything he does.
