THIS IS THE SPORTS SPECTRUM PODCAST WITH MATT FORTE & JASON ROMANO, FEATURING ALEX CALL
Alex Call is a professional baseball player with the Washington Nationals. He was originally selected in the third round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Chicago White Sox. He was traded to Cleveland in 2018 and spent the next four years in the minors with the Indians/Guardians organization, before making his MLB debut in July 2022. He was selected off waivers by Washington in 2023 and played in 128 games for the Nationals that season, hitting eight home runs. In 2024, Call played in 30 games with the Nationals and hit .343 with five stolen bases in 99 at-bats.
Today on the podcast, Alex Call shares about his journey through the ups and downs of pro baseball in the past year, and discusses the challenges of injuries, the pressure of performance, and the role of prayer in finding new approaches to the game. He reflects on the significance of contentment in all circumstances and the balance between family life and a demanding sports career.
