Ben McDonald pitched in the major leagues with the Baltimore Orioles from 1989 to 1995 and Milwaukee Brewers from 1996 to 1997. Prior to heading to pro ball he played at Louisiana State University and helped the Tigers to the College World Series in consecutive seasons. In 1989 he posted a career best 14-4 record with a 3.49 ERA and an SEC single-season record 202 strikeouts. After that season he earned First-Team All-American honors and was presented the Golden Spikes Award as the nation’s top amateur baseball player. While playing at LSU he also represented the United States on the national team and helped the USA to a gold medal at the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games. In the 1989 MLB First-Year Player Draft the Baltimore Orioles selected him with the No. 1 overall pick. During his MLB career he was a consistent performer, posting a career record of 78-70 and a 3.91 ERA in 1,291.1 innings pitched.

Baseball Speakers
With an incredible history and bright future, there is no denying that baseball is America’s national pastime. As history continues to be made, corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups and other organizations understand the value of having a current or retired Major League Baseball player, manager or broadcaster at their event. Baseball speakers bring tremendous credibility to a variety of in-person speaking engagements, appearances, virtual events and more! They share great stories from their careers and touch on important themes like teamwork and overcoming obstacles.
Sports Broadcasting Speakers
The leading sports broadcasting speakers appear on our television screens each week talking about our favorite sports. That familiarity they build with the viewing audience over time makes them popular as some of the athletes we see compete on the field or court. By nature of their occupation, sports broadcasting speakers have tremendous communication skills, making them for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. These broadcasters can also be great hosts for your next in-person or virtual event!
