Summary
Jeremy Affeldt pitched in the big leagues for 14 seasons from 2002-2015. He was originally a third round pick in the 1997 MLB Draft by the Royals and made his MLB debut five years later in April 2002 with KC.
He spent time with Kansas City from 2002-2006, then Colorado from 2006-07, Cincinnati in 2008 and the San Francisco Giants from 2009-2015. He is a three-time World Series champion and owns a career 0.86 ERA in his postseason career.
Today on the podcast, we talk to Jeremy about the pressure of postseason baseball, his favorite postseason memory and then we pivot to the trial he has walked through the past few years and why he felt God led him to the 'Buffalo Mentality' launch a brewery.
