If Keep Swinging had a movie poster, Jake Burger would be featured at the center of it. The Miami Marlins third baseman was drafted 11th overall in 2017 by the Chicago White Sox and signed for $3.1 million. What happened next is something no one could have predicted or even be able to prepare for. Burger suffered multiple ankle injuries shortly after making his professional baseball debut that led to 1,163 days without playing organized baseball. On this episode of Keep Swinging with Matt Stucko, Burger details his journey back to the ball field, mental health, the highs and lows and so much more that will leave you feeling inspired and motivated.
