German-Raised MLB Slugger Donald Lutz On Confidence, Shedding Baggage and His Mentality
After four months Down Under broadcasting in Australia, The Mental Game is back!
A Note From Sam: Thank you for bearing with me during this hiatus. I had a life-changing time in Australia (working in the Australian Baseball League), and I missed producing The Mental Game immensely. I'm thrilled to be back and am thrilled to be making several significant upgrades to the show, including a video simulcast. Thank you, as always, for your support of The Mental Game. Now, onto this week's show...
Episode 53 of The Mental Game features Donald Lutz, a former first baseman in MLB for the Cincinnati Reds.
Born in New York but raised in Germany, Lutz didn't start playing baseball until he was 14. By the time he turned 18, he'd inked a contract with the Reds and rocketed up their farm system. In 2013, Lutz debuted in the big leagues and became the first German-developed player to make it to MLB.
Since breaking through into The Show, Lutz has starred in the Australian Baseball League with the Brisbane Bandits, winning four championships and a Championship Series MVP award in 2016. Lutz is considered among the best players in modern ABL history and has fallen in love with Australia. Now a permanent resident, Lutz resides full-time in Brisbane.
He has begun to dip his toes into scouting, with the Reds, and podcasting. Lutz produces and hosts the Moving Through Life podcast, which you can subscribe to here. You can also follow Lutz's journey through life on his YouTube Channel and Instagram page.
On The Mental Game, Lutz dives into:
Enjoy and remember to be kind to yourself.
NOTE: I'm thrilled to be running in the Chicago Bank of America Half-Marathon this June to support Laaser's Ladybug Society. We're close to our goal of $2K to support mental health initiatives in schools — CLICK HERE TO DONATE.
The Mental Game is also a proud partner of Laaser's Ladybug Society, which is a designated 501c3 organization combatting the stigmas that surround mental health by actively fundraising to support mental health initiatives and innovations in our school system. The mental health challenges faced by our youth are unprecedented and it is time to get off the bench and get in the game as we fight for the mental wellbeing of the next generation.
