The Mental Game of Baseball with Brody Brecht
Brody Brecht is a right-handed pitcher in the Colorado Rockies organization and one of the top arms in their system. The former two-sport Iowa Hawkeye left as the program's career strikeout leader and was taken 38th overall in the 2024 MLB Draft, the highest any Iowa player has gone since 1990.
