If you aren't a baseball fan, you might not realize that we're living through a revolution. And Driveline Baseball is right at the center of it.
The data-driven baseball training company has trained thousands of high school and college baseball players, well over a hundred MLB players (including MVPs, Cy Young winners, and All-Stars), and overhauled the way teams across pro sports think about turning analytical insights into player development plans. It's an extraordinary feat, and as the acceptance of their methodology has grown over the last ~15 years, so has their business.
Driveline is also one of my clients, so today on the show I talk with Driveline's CEO, Mike Rathwell, about what they're accomplished, what drives their business, where they're going from here, and the incredible opportunities you have to come work alongside me, Mike, and the best baseball players in the world.
