Brandon Rembert | MLB Scout Pirates | " Game of Faliure " | S5 EP 15

In this episode, we’re excited to speak with Brandon Rembert, a former HBCU baseball standout at Alcorn State and current MLB scout for the Pittsburgh Pirates. Brandon’s story is one of perseverance, vision, and breaking barriers in a sport that hasn’t always been inclusive. As one of the few Black executives in Major League Baseball—where only 7% of executives are Black—he stands as a trailblazer, eager to make a difference both on and off the field.
Quoted in Forbes, Brandon highlights "The game of baseball teaches you about yourself." With the sport notorious for its emphasis on failure, where even the best batters succeed less than half the time, Brandon shares how these experiences of facing adversity have shaped his mindset, his work ethic, and his approach to life. From navigating the struggles of being an athlete at a HBCU to establishing himself in a competitive and often exclusive industry, his story and battling injury is a testament to resilience, passion, and unwavering dedication.

In this conversation, we explore the significance of representation in baseball and how Brandon’s presence in the executive ranks is part of a larger movement to diversify the sport. We talk about the challenges of scouting, how he evaluates talent, and the broader vision he holds for the game he loves. Brandon shares how his background as a player prepared him for the highs and lows of life in baseball and how his work continues to open doors for the next generation of athletes and professionals.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of sports, business, and representation. Brandon Rembert’s story will inspire you to rethink what it means to succeed in a game built on resilience, and how one person can impact an entire industry through determination and purpose.
