Against All Odds: The Drake Nightengale Story

Brushing ‘Em Back with Colby White

Today’s Episode “Against All Odds: The Drake Nightengale Story” Hosts Colby White and William Walley welcome their guest and discuss the challenges Drake faced throughout his journey to mountaintop as he nears a potential MLB apex. We take time to cover his early days in baseball, the advantages/disadvantages of ‘being the coach’s kid’, battling injuries and a medical diagnosis that could and should have derailed his dream of playing pro ball and we even touch on a little extra motivation from a playing rival that essentially told him there was no chance he’d ever make it to the MLB. His journey from HS, the disappointing JUCO detour to D1 and then the call that the every little boy that plays the game wants to get.
