The Summer of Sal: How a Multi-Sport Mindset and Tech Shaped His MLB Career
What does it take to go from a multi-sport high school athlete to a starting outfielder in the big leagues? For Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick, it’s been a mix of relentless competitiveness, a strong team culture, and learning how to make technology work for him—not the other way around.
In this episode of Athletic Intelligence by GameChanger, Sal joins hosts Aman Loomba (SVP of Product at GameChanger) and Alex Trezza (Baseball Market Manager at GameChanger) to talk about the moments that shaped his career. From his days juggling football, hockey, and baseball, to the pivotal decision to focus on the diamond, Sal shares how different sports gave him an edge when the lights came on.
They dig into the tech that’s now a part of his daily game, from pitch sequencing data to simulation machines that replicate any MLB pitcher, and how he’s learned to balance data with instinct. Sal also reflects on the culture that fuels winning teams, and why being a good teammate is as much about accountability as encouragement.
You’ll hear:
- Why Sal believes playing multiple sports is the best foundation for young athletes
- The college conversations that convinced him baseball could be his future
- How tech like the “Trajekt” machine helps him prepare for pitchers in real time
- Why knowing how much technology to use is as important as the data itself
- How first-step quickness and route efficiency are tracked—and why they matter
- Why team culture is built on both support and holding each other accountable
