  • Episode 10: C's Recap and catcher Robert Brooks
    2024/08/07

    In this episode, K.P. chats with catcher Robert Brooks prior to a recent home game at Rogers Field at Nat Bailey Stadium. The conversation came a week before Brooks was called up to Double-A New Hampshire.

    With Vancouver this season, Brooks ended up hitting .262 in 27 games, along with four home runs and 10 RBIs. His journey is a good story. He started the year in independent ball after being let go by the Tampa Bay Rays organization last season.

    There is also mention of the impact of the newcomers on the Canadians after the Major League Baseball trade deadline, with the Blue Jays, the parent club, sending players such as Cutter Coffey (formerly with the Red Sox organization), Jacob Sharp (from the Mariners), and Jay Harry (from the Twins) to Vancouver.

He started his pro career with Dunedin in 2023 and was called up to Vancouver late last season.

    Goodwin grew up in a baseball family, as his father David Goodwin played in the Kansas City Royals organization as a first baseman from 1998-2000. His uncle Mark Goodwin was also an outfielder/first baseman in the Baltimore Orioles system in 1985-86.
