PBR JUCO Wire Podcast: Jamey Carroll

In this episode of the PBR JUCO Wire Podcast, presented by Netting Professionals, co-hosts Mike Rosenbaum and Zach Day chat with former Major Leaguer Jamey Carroll, a special assistant for the Pittsburgh Pirates who serves as the organization’s defensive coordinator for infielders. 

Carroll’s journey en route to 12 seasons and more than 1,200 games in the big leagues with the Expos/Nationals, Rockies, Indians, Dodgers and Royals began at John A. Logan (IL). He spoke about the path that led him to John A. Logan and how his one season spent playing JUCO baseball helped shape his long and successful career. 

Zach and Jamey also reflect on their long-intertwined careers, including their early years as Expos teammates and roommates in Montreal. But, most importantly, they provide valuable advice on what it takes, both physically and mentally, to persevere in the professional ranks.
