In this episode, we sit down with Luke Savage, former TCU pitcher and College World Series competitor, to walk through his complete baseball journey — from Omaha to professional baseball.

Luke breaks down what it was like pitching on college baseball’s biggest stage, getting drafted by the Texas Rangers organization, and competing alongside Paul Skenes on the USA National Team in 2022. He gives an inside look at the MLB Draft process, how scouting and baseball scholarships really work, and how draft boards can change in real time.

Beyond the field, Luke shares how he’s built a following as a social media influencer and YouTube creator, balancing content creation with the grind of professional baseball. He also discusses NIL, personal branding, and how today’s players can use digital platforms to grow their reach and career opportunities.

This episode is a must-listen for college baseball fans, MLB Draft followers, aspiring pro players, parents navigating the recruiting process, and anyone interested in the intersection of baseball, NIL, and social media.
