Former Major Leaguer turned Mental Health advocate, Drew Robinson, joins us today on the podcast. It is heavy. It is inspiring. It is real. Drew’s well documented failed suicide attempt has been the subject of discussion around ENDING THE STIGMA as it relates to mental health.

Born and raised in Las Vegas, NV, Drew signed his first professional player contract with the Texas Rangers out of high school and went on to play parts of 12 seasons with Rangers, Cardinals and Giants organizations while spending parts of 3 seasons at the major league level with the Texas Rangers and St. Louis Cardinals. In February of 2020, he and ESPN released an E60 documentary on his survived suicide attempt in hopes to create awareness on mental health and end the stigma surrounding it.

After losing his right eye in his attempt and eventually completing a comeback to professional baseball, Drew retired after the 2021 season and will be entering his first year under the baseball operations side of the San Francisco Giants organization assisting Dr. Shana Alexander and Dr. Emily Cheatum in the mental health & wellness department. He will be in charge of creating a Peer Support Program throughout the organization to help players & staff feel more comfortable starting their own conversations regarding their mental and emotional wellbeing.
