Every year Major League Baseball teams send a few players to Washington D.C. for the MLB Rookie Career Development Program, which is aimed at helping players prepare for what the future holds for them as they likely take that next step into the Major Leagues.
MLB brings in former players, managers, media members and other speakers to talk to the group of players about all sorts of things, including managing money, how to handle working with members of the media, how to avoid unfavorable situations off of the field and other things that could face them as they move to a much more noticeable role from the minor leagues to the Majors.
The Reds Michael Lorenzen was one of the players invited and he sat down with MLB.com’s Jonathan Mayo for a three minute interview. Give it a quick listen.
