JAMESON TAILLON Talks Cubs & Yankees Stories, Surviving Cancer & Mental Toughness


Listen Later

In this episode, we sit down with Chicago Cubs pitcher Jameson Taillon! Jamo talks about his baseball journey—from being a highly touted first-round pick to battling cancer, undergoing two Tommy John surgeries, and carving out a role in one of the most exciting pitching staffs in the league. 

Jamo opens up about what it really takes to succeed in today’s MLB, why execution matters more than velocity, and how "pitchability" is making a comeback. He shares candid stories from his time with the Pirates, Yankees, and now the Cubs, including insights from teammates like Gerrit Cole, lessons from coaches, and the importance of peer relationships inside the clubhouse. 

We dive deep into: 

- His transition from top prospect to veteran leader 

- Embracing analytics while trusting his feel on the mound 

- Adjusting his mindset after injuries and adversity 

- Why team chemistry off the field translates to success on it 

- Being a foodie, locker room dynamics, and his first career save 

From cancer to comeback, Taillon’s story is one of resilience, self-awareness, and never losing sight of what matters most.
