Episode 206: Reign Letkeman
from Alberta Dugout Stories: The Podcast · host Alberta Dugout Stories
Reign Letkeman’s ascension from a minor ball player in Red Deer to Big Bend College to being drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays in 2015 all felt like it happened in the blink of an eye. In fact, Letkeman admits he started taking the game seriously a lot later than most. But the 6-3, 180-pound right-hander enjoyed the ride, including a three-year stint in the Rays system, before he had to go through a major surgery in 2018. He returned for one more year of professional baseball before the pandemic, then shifted his priorities to his family and to coaching at his alma mater. The 27-year-old joined us this week to talk about his journey in the game, how he has no regrets, and how excited he is to soon become a dad.
