 In this episode of Nithin’s Sports Rush, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with former MLB pitcher and World Series champ Jake McGee—a guy whose fastball kept hitters guessing and who quietly became one of the most dependable relievers in baseball.

Jake takes us on a raw, honest ride through his career—from growing up in Northern California and Nevada, to getting drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays, to that unforgettable championship run with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2020. We dig into what it’s like to pitch in Colorado’s thin air, the mental and physical toll of injuries, and what goes through a player’s mind when they’re traded mid-season.

What struck me most? Jake’s humility and passion for the game—especially now as he shifts into a mentorship role, coaching young pitchers and giving back to the sport that shaped him.

We also have some fun with rapid-fire questions—his favorite ballparks, toughest hitters he faced, and thoughts on the electric energy of the World Baseball Classic.

Whether you’re a hardcore baseball fan or just love hearing the real stories behind elite athletes, this conversation is full of golden moments you won’t want to miss.
