I spoke with Donta' Williams of the Bowie Baysox on this Black Baseball Mixtape podcast episode. Donta' is a Las Vegas native. He played college baseball at the University of Arizona and was a 4th Round draft pick of the O's in 2021.

Donta and I talk about his personal journey to pro ball and the importance of a strong foundation in the game. Donta' had excellent leadership from his youth coach, Coach Ceasar in Vegas, and his family. Without that leadership, he would not be where he is today.

He also shares his love for a VA natvie in Jackie Bradley Jr. Being from VA myself, I love to hear that.

This episode is filled with authentic conversation and support. It should be shared with every young player who dreams of making the pros but has been doubted along the way.
