TJ Hopkins Gets REAL About His MLB Call-Up, the Pressure of Pro Baseball, and Walking Away

TJ Hopkins went from the number one high school player in South Carolina to getting drafted by the Cincinnati Reds and living every kid's dream: getting called up to the big leagues. In this conversation, TJ talks about the whirlwind call-up, the pressure and stress ballplayers put on themselves, why pro baseball is cutthroat, and what he would tell his 12 year old self. He also gets honest about the end of the road. Injuries, surgery, one last run in indie ball, and deciding to hang them up at 29. If you are a young ballplayer, a parent, or a coach, this one is for you.
