150. Billy Wagner - MLB Hall of Fame Pitcher and High School Coach

2025 MLB Hall of Fame inductee Billy Wagner joins us this week to share his unique story of how a right-handed kid became a left handed pitcher who earned 422 saves and 7 All-Star appearances in his major league career. Billy shares insights from his baseball development story, including how he overcame a childhood full of adversity to become a football and baseball player at Division 3 Ferrum College, before becoming an unlikely first round draft big in baseball. He shares some great "behind the scenes" moments from his recent Hall of Fame induction weekend in Cooperstown, including some of the cool moments meeting legends of the game. Since his retirement in 2010, Billy has been a successful high school coach, including coaching his sons Will, now playing in the Blue Jays organization, and Kason, committed to pitching at Coastal Carolina in 2026. With a front row view of youth and high school baseball development as a coach and dad, Billy shares valuable insights and advice to young players, parents, and coaches on this episode.
