Alex Vesia's Inspiring Story from Zero College Offers to Major Leaguer

[@alex_beaird3]

This is exactly why Vesia is my favorite. Not only is he a super nice and humble guy, but he knows what it's like to have to grind to earn every bit of the success that he's achieved. Good podcast, Dan, and I can't wait to see more!

[@DSARM]

Thank you bro!! Really appreciate that. Alex's story is remarkable

[@MichaelKeyserling]

A crazy thing that matches with this is that once I went to a dodgers game and I was waiting in the bullpen and saw him walk by and I asked fr a ball and he said once the game ended he would throw us one and he threw us two because there was two of us it was very nice of him

[@PaloVerde1414]

Vesia is a personal favorite. Passion, Grind, Humility, Lefty 😉

[@a-love-supremist]

Vesia is that dude. Love his passion on the mound. He's that underdog who gives it his all.

[@gomezchris276]

I effing love vesia.. his poise and attitude makes the game more exciting

[@jzk0517]

Lucky enough to have a few interactions with Vesia while he was in OKC. Chatted it up with me and my lil bro and made fans of him for life. Thanks for being such a class act Alex and DSARM thanks for giving players an open platform to be themselves

[@strudel1347]

im a big dodger fan and vesia is my favorite reliever to watch. hes so fun and has so much personality and passion, and his story is so inspiring. i love the guy. last year on our home opener the crowd cheered pretty much louder than any other reliever for him; we all love him here. glad you did this interview

[@mrballoonhands23]

As a Padres fan I got mad respect for Vesia. I love his attitude

[@justinhayes1235]

He’s so underrated

[@DSARM]

He is bro! 2.15 ERA and over 13 K/9. Dude is a stud

[@maxsmart8954]

Definitely an exercise in preserving and not giving up. Some players do not mature physically until after college. Scouts now a days miss that. More to Judging talent. Seeing potential is a true gift.

[@ivancanales5799]

Seeing him succeed is so cool and unreal to see because I caught this guy in high school in the off-season’s. He was a couple years ahead of me so we didn’t actually go to school together but we went to the same high school and I would catch him in the summer during summer ball at our high school Steele Canyon, and to see him A make the big leagues and B play on my favorite team the Dodgers is absolutely nuts and such a cool feeling to know Him

[@DSARM]

Dude that's nuts!

[@Max88511]

Great episode Alex is a great guest. Great passion keep it up.

[@piercenelson2353]

Incredible story, thanks for sharing Dan and Alex!!

[@DSARM]

Thanks for watching, Pierce!

[@BreaJiuJitsu]

My young son stays after Dodgers games looking for balls and autographs. Almost all the players immediately leave to go change and shower....except Alex. He has so many visitors it's crazy! You can tell how much he enjoys playing in MLB and just wants to share the experience with everyone he's ever known. It's fun to watch.

[@Nico47482]

just met A lex today for a baseball camp it was super fun

[@hihungryimcam]

Damn, this was a really great interview. Awesome job.

[@fertavram869]

Great interview. We love Vesia. Let’s go Dodgers!!!!

[@elishevajones6730]

Vesia is so fun to watch on the mound. What a cool guy. Love his story. Great energy.

[@mejadesdad]

Awesome interview! Vesia made a big splash and is def a Fan fave🤘🏽

[@Foo8-y2r]

WORLD SERIES CHAMP, crazy his 2024 season was better than last years…

[@MikeHunt-ik3rg]

Wow what an awesome humble dude , i am Now a big fan of this guy even though I’m a Red Sox fan

[@Bushtuckerman_]

I love Alex! His energy on the mound is epic and you can really tell he’s got that dog in him! He’s hungry AF

[@irvingcastillo2502]

My fav relief pitcher once he put on dodgers uni

[@CatorceKilos]

From Hayward and at the time I lived 2 blocks from cal state east bay (I'm old I still call it cal state Hayward). .used to walk up from my house on Saturdays cause it was the closest baseball games and saw him a couple times. That baseball field has the best view in California btw

[@DSARM]

No kidding! I'll look up the field right now

[@delatorre_2395]

I went to high school with Alex. Wish I would’ve known him. I’m a big fan of his, and it’s always exciting when he comes to the mound

[@tacogang5083]

I love that intensity on the mound!!!!

[@DSARM]

He's ELECTRIC!

[@johnanthony1023]

why i love baseball you can go from a bottom scouted guy to on top of the world with hard work

[@DSARM]

1000% bro. It's inspiring

[@PadresDigest]

Great Video!

[@anuncertaincalm]

I fuckin' love Alex Vesia. Dude's a psychopath on the mound.

[@coopermann5328]

You are such a good host. Not a question wasted and great vid

[@ghoulslayer__7746]

Ive got to say, youve really brought some great questions! Great interviewing!

[@DSARM]

Thank you!

[@_kevincortes]

Dude, keep up the content. You're doing what MLB isn't, marketing the players and telling the story of the game.

[@DSARM]

Thank you my man!! That’s the goal

[@seth_monney]

LETSSS GOOO W POST

[@DSARM]

THANKS GOATT

[@nousername1401]

Great video man I wish all the best keep up the great content!

[@DSARM]

Thank you my man!! Always love seeing your comments 🔥

[@portugalcanedo7101]

Really good pod. Next time can you ask more about the minor league journey too. The pay, housing, stuff like that

[@DSARM]

Thank you!! Yes, great idea I will

[@matthewwiederhold3946]

Great video please try to talk to more big leaguers

[@jonathangonzalez8653]

This was so good

[@DSARM]

Thank you man! Was a blast to make

[@zachnewton4342]

That’s so weird to hear Cal State-East Bay, that college has looked at me a few times and it was one that I was excited to see😂

[@brando8882]

Im a padres fan and although he gave up the winning runs in that game 4, you could see he was a very good pitcher, much respect to Alex

[@DjStalin100]

Wish they spoke about the workouts in order to get to 90mph. There are HS players throwing 82 tops but don’t know how to get to 90mph for college. Great video man..

[@ryansack5198]

What's really crazy is his walk rate- in 2019 at Class A he walked 4.8 batters per 9 innings.. then upon promotion to High-A he walked just 1 batter (0.5 per 9) in 18.2 innings then another promotion to AA walked just 1 batter again in 16 innings (0.6 per 9).. that's such a drastic improvement & mid season is nuts..

[@ZanderBaggio]

Awesome content

[@DSARM]

Appreciate you bro!

[@trillityrob532]

Gotta love vesia

[@DSARM]

He's the best

[@notartsy2449]

He was gonna mention Bauer when talking about resources for young pitchers

[@100_PercentGold]

Great video keep it up! 👏

[@marcosmadeiros9553]

[@aprroxit3633]

Let people dream

[@DSARM]

2.15 ERA & 13+ K/9.. keep an eye out this season for when he's an All Star lock 💯

[@xKmanify]

@@DSARM Jake Cronenworth owns him LOL

[@edgardorodriguez3710]

@@DSARMwell look at him now, World Series champ and nails out of the bullpen, hope that chump that made that comment is eating his words

[@smoothkins]

too bad he can't throw strikes

[@Elver99Gudon]

Fast forward the the NLDS when he threw the pitch that got the Dodgers eliminated by Jake Cronenworth and the Padres in the 2022 NLDS hahahahahahahaha good thing this impostor somehow made it to the big leagues

[@edgardorodriguez3710]

Currently 2024 and this “imposter” as you call him is a World Series champ and the most important left handed arm in the bullpen, nice try though
