If you grew up watching baseball in the late 1990s, you know Scott Brosius as the third baseman who helped the New York Yankees win three consecutive World Series titles, and whose iconic 1998 World Series MVP performance is one of the great underdog stories in baseball history. What you might not know is that his path to the Bronx Bombers began at a small liberal arts school in McMinnville, Oregon, that most Division I recruiters had never heard of.

In this episode of the Student-Athlete Sessions, Brosius talks about his recruiting journey, his professional baseball career, and what brought him full circle back to Linfield University, where he now serves as Athletic Director. The conversation is packed with lessons for any student-athlete navigating the recruiting process, especially those frustrated that the big schools aren't calling.
