MLB pitcher Trevor Rosenthal discusses his journey from college shortstop to World Series closer just a few years later. Rosenthal, who was named an All-Star in 2015 and saved 48 games for the St. Louis Cardinals that year, talks about how he became a pitcher 'by mistake' and how he dealt with the intense pressure of pitching in the World Series at Fenway Park -- at just 23 years old. Trevor also opens up about the players who inspired him and shaped his game, along with his thoughts on the latest baseball rule changes, like the pitch clock and larger bases. He also talks about the 'Bullpen Review' series he's been doing on X and the response it's drawn from fans.
