Caleb McClanahan
Caleb McClanahan describes himself as a husband and father first. While baseball played a huge role in his life, he is careful not to be defined by the sport. That being said, he was a very talented athlete. By the end of his senior year of college, Caleb was a nationally top-ranked collegiate pitcher. He had no injuries and a bright future ahead in professional baseball. And then...he wasn’t drafted. It wasn’t until Caleb received a phone call later on that he would finally discover what really happened. Instead of becoming angry and bitter, he’s thankful. He’s proud of his family and the journey that’s helped shape who he is today.
