Stephen Nogosek: Controlling What You Can Control

This week Andrew talks with New York Mets pitcher Stephen Nogosek. Stephen has had a great start to his 2022 season—but despite his success he has moved back and forth between the Mets and their AAA minor league team in Syracuse. Amidst all of the change and uncertainty, Stephen always looks ready to go when he is on the pitcher’s mound.  Stephen talks about his detailed process to continuously grow as a pitcher, how he stays focused during times of uncertainty, and so much more. This conversation is filled with ideas that stretch far beyond baseball and will help you reach your full potential in anything. Show Highlights:1:30 - Reflecting on start of 2022 season2:38 - Controlling what you can control4:43 - Evolving as a pitcher4:52 - Preparation for 20227:29 - Adversity during growth8:18 - Asking others for feedback10:02 - Role of data & analytics13:10 - Mindset of a relief pitcher17:12 - Mets team resilience in 202217:34 - Bullpen working together as a team18:50 - Adam Ottavino as bullpen leader20:36 - Role of Max Scherzer and Jacob deGrom 21:43 - Francisco Lindor's positive attitude 22:20 - Maintaining a positive focus25:02 - Buck Showalter's approach and leadership26:32 - Comparing mustaches with Keith HernandezCONNECT WITH ANDREW ON SOCIALTwitter: @andrewhmosesInstagram: @AndrewMoses123NEWSLETTERSign up for e-mails to keep up with the podcast at everybodypullsthetarp.com/newsletter!
