Baseball Lied - And the Ones Who Adapted Are Winning

Описание: Baseball lied.

Most players were told if they worked hard, stayed disciplined, and kept grinding - everything would work out.

For a lot of players, it doesn’t.

In this episode of The 9-Hole, former MLB player Ian Miller sits down with Ryan Kellogg to talk about the part of baseball nobody prepares players for - what happens AFTER the dream changes.

From grinding in Triple-A, losing identity, and getting hit around… to helping lead the most disruptive brand in baseball with the Savannah Bananas - Ryan’s story is about reinvention, perspective, and leverage when baseball stops working the way you were promised.

This isn’t an episode about 'having fun.'

It’s about why joy, connection, and humanity are actually elite-level strategy - and what traditional baseball still gets wrong about development, pressure, and performance.

If you’re a player, parent, or coach navigating:
• identity loss after baseball doesn’t go as planned
• burnout from the grind
• confusion about where the game is heading

this conversation will hit home.

KEEP GRINDING!
