THIS IS THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST
WITH JASON ROMANO, FEATURING LUKE WEAVER

Luke Weaver is a pitcher with the New York Yankees. He was originally selected in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft by the St. Louis Cardinals, and he made his MLB debut with St. Louis in August 2016, the same year he was named the team’s Minor League Pitcher of the Year. He spent two more seasons with the Cardinals before getting traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks prior to the 2019 season.

After four years with Arizona, he was traded to Kansas City in 2022. In 2023, he spent time with the Cincinnati Reds, Seattle Mariners and Yankees. In January 2024, he signed a one-year deal to remain with the Yankees.

Today on the podcast, we talk to Luke Weaver about the challenges of the baseball lifestyle, including late-night travel and the importance of sleep and self-care. He shares how he stays connected to Jesus during the long season and the daily discipline required to prioritize his faith. He also reflects on the ups and downs of his career, including being released by multiple teams, his crazy 2023 season, and finding stability with the Yankees. Luke emphasizes the importance of staying grounded and finding strength in weakness.
