On this episode of the Playoff Push Podcast, former MLB catcher and third baseman Michael Barrett joins the show to reflect on his journey through professional baseball. Barrett looks back at his rise as a high school star, earning Georgia's Gatorade Player of the Year honors before becoming a first-round draft pick out of high school. He discusses his development in the Montreal Expos organization, being named Minor League Player of the Year, and playing on one of the final Expos teams as the franchise’s future hung in the balance. We dive into his early MLB success, including leading all National League rookies in doubles, winning a Silver Slugger Award, and the challenges of playing both catcher and third base.
