Major League Baseball needs more players like Detroit Tigers pitcher Jack Flaherty and you're about to find out why in this episode of Keep Swinging. The St. Louis Cardinals selected the right-handed pitcher in the first round of the 2014 MLB Draft. Everything leading up to that special moment molded him into the man he is today. He was adopted just three weeks after being born into a family led by his mother who once told him, "don't let people lessen your confidence." She was and still is the ultimate warrior and her son would later develop into one both on and off the mound. Get ready to hear Flaherty's inspirational story and how he turned into one of the most marketable players in the game.
