    E7: Brotherhood with Yan Gomes

    Yan Gomes has been one of the most consistent players representing Tater on the biggest stage. Starting our relationship in 2018, Yan has given us the opportunity to work with him that has transcended beyond just using our product. In this episode, he shares the early stages of his career from playing baseball in Brazil to moving to Florida for high school. While very talented at the time, Yan talks about doing the extra work, and really cultivating his work ethic in his college years to take his game to the next level. He also shares what life is like during the season, making friends with other professional athletes in different sports and finding a balance amidst all the traveling done throughout the year.  For the first time in company history, Yan talks about getting traded to Oakland where both Starling Marte and Vimael Machin were both playing and using the bats (the only other players using Tater in the Big Leagues at the time). He shared how Tater is a brotherhood amongst the players and what the commitment to the brand really means. Player Bio: Yan Gomes is a Brazilian-American professional baseball catcher for the Chicago Cubs of Major League Baseball (MLB). He previously played for the Toronto Blue Jays, Cleveland Indians, Washington Nationals and Oakland Athletics. The Blue Jays drafted Gomes in the tenth round of the 2009 MLB Draft. He made his MLB debut in 2012, becoming the first Brazilian-born player in major league history. He played for the Blue Jays in 2012 and the Indians from 2013 to 2018. He was traded to the Nationals ahead of the 2019 season and won the World Series with Washington over the Houston Astros.
