Connor Emmett spent years chasing baseball at a high level, playing through college and eventually professionally in Detroit, Missoula, Montana, and Colorado Springs.

In this episode of Pilots Say What?, Connor shares how he went from professional baseball to flight training, what drew him to aviation, and why becoming a pilot felt like an investment in himself.
