Tigers’ outfielder Kerry Carpenter joins Jason and Dan to discuss his journey from being drafted in the 19th round to being a star slugger. Who pushed him to work as hard as he could? How did a slight adjustment help him find the power he has become known for? How did people telling him the truth help him grow? Carpenter shares not only stories of his career, but also stories from growing up and how his family and faith have shaped him. What does his family mean to him? How has his faith and family helped him through hard times? He shares insight into what goes through his mind during a home run, his love for being the hitter to “change the game”, and how he strives to be a great teammate every day.
