This week on the 90th Percentile, Geoff and Matt are joined by St. Louis Cardinals star Brendan Donovan to discuss a variety of topics. We revisit the concept of the exposure funnel in youth baseball, talk about Brendan’s experience in the recruiting process and how taking a ball to the throat in a showcase earned him an offer from South Alabama. From baseball to food to sea turtles, we run the gamut of topics on this episode. It is a must-listen for baseball and Cardinals fans alike.
