Enjoy The Show Podcast: Baseball Interviews

Alex Vesia was a 17th Round Draft Pick out of a D2 called Cal State East Bay, and before that he was a 150-pound college freshman who couldn't squat 135. Now, he's a star reliever for the Los Angeles Dodgers with a fastball eclipsing 97 MPH and has one of the highest K/9 in Major League Baseball. His story is absolutely remarkable, and anyone who's looking to get some motivation for chasing their dreams is gonna love this episode. Hope you enjoy! 💯

This is my story from 10-year-old making videos on an iPad to dropping out of college and committing to content creation full time. I have a pretty unique backstory and hope my story can inspire others to chase their dreams and pursue greatness - or at the very least my story will entertain you. I hope. Haha.
