George shares some great stories from his playing days, and why he spent all 21 of his big league years with the Royals. He discusses his thoughts on today's hitting approach, including exit velocity and launch angle - and let's just say he is not a fan. He also discusses talks about the suggestions that Charlie Lou, his hitting coach with the Royals, gave him that led to his success, after never hitting .300 in the minor leagues. And as always, George shares his thoughts with humorous candor.","meta_description":"On this episode we welcome one of the greatest hitters in MLB history, a first ballot Hall of Famer with over 3150 hits, Kansas City Royals legend George…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2003,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-pure-athlete-podcast-5760819/episodes/157-george-brett-mlb-hall-of-fame-3b/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-pure-athlete-podcast-5760819/157-george-brett-mlb-hall-of-fame-3b.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
