029: MiLB Pitcher to Hand Protection Guru

April 01, 2021 • Diana Stephens & Stephanie Malley • Episode 29

From MiLB Pitcher to Developing Protective Batting Gloves

This episode we interviewed Derek Hurley, who is originally from Staten Island, NY and currently living in Houston, Texas. He played baseball at Division 1 Seton Hall University in New Jersey and was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 30th round of the 1999 MLB draft. After Derek's baseball career ended, he spent time in the medical and financial fields. He is now a part of the Truletic team, combining his baseball career along with his business marketing background.

Derek discusses his path through baseball growing up and shares some great insight on multi-sports, travel baseball, college baseball, being drafted, and coaching. He also discusses the Truletic protective batting gloves, which uses brand-new protective technology that prevents baseball players from getting hamate surgery.

truletic.com is offering our listeners 20% your purchase of protective batting gloves. Just enter the code "MOMSANDBASEBALL" when purchasing.
