Summary
Jeremy Hefner is the pitching coach for the New York Mets. He joined the Mets in his current role prior to the 2020 season after spending one season in the 2019 as an assistant coach with the Minnesota Twins.
As a player, Hefner was selected in the fifth round in the 2007 MLB Draft by the Padres but after being traded to the Mets, made his MLB debut as a player in April with New York. After injuries took their toll, he retired in 2017 and went into coaching.
Today on the podcast, Jeremy Hefner returns to discuss the lessons he learned from 2022, finding purpose in his job and staying rooted in his faith during a long MLB season.
