Mets' Tommy Wilson on How NFTs Can Empower Athletes


Listen Later

In this episode, we’re excited to welcome Tommy Wilson, who pitches in the minor leagues for the New York Mets. Wilson, who currently plays for the Binghamton Rumble Ponies, is not only an avid crypto artist on the SuperRare marketplace, but is also one of the first professional athletes to be active in the NFT space. He has also helped introduce fellow baseball players to NFTs, including Mets star first baseman Pete Alonso.


In this episode, we cover:

- Wilson’s journey into making digital art, the reaction he received from teammates about his foray into NFTs, and how he convinced them to take it seriously

- How he enlisted Mets’ infielder Pete Alonso to do an NFT to benefit minor leaguers, and the MLB’s reaction to it

- How NFTs can help empower minor league players

- Where Wilson sees the intersection of NFTs and baseball going

- Why he chose to release his art on SuperRare

- And much more!
