Scooter shares the story of growing up as a Cincinnati Reds fan and ultimately living out that childhood dream in the Major Leagues. He reflects on the grind of proving himself as an undersized player, navigating pressure at the highest level, and the emotional moment of stepping onto a Major League field for the first time.
