It's the M-V-Podcast. Josh Engler is the 2021 Most Valuable Player of the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League. He struck out a single season record 69 batters in nine games with the Republic Locos, and he also got 12 hits.



Josh Engler is from Mount Vernon, Missouri, but now resides in Aurora with his wife, Ashlynn (nee Meredith) and daughter, Ivy. That's where we begin as we get to know the reigning MVP. We also explore the high school career that got him to the next level at Evangel University, and the factors that led to a mid-career move to Missouri Southern State University in Joplin.

Lefty Trey Watson pitched for a team named in his honor in 2018, the Trey Watson Realty Closers. After growing up in Springfield, Missouri, and playing for the legendary coach Howard Bell's Glendale Falcons, Watson went on to play two years at Crowder College and then two years at Columbus State University in the Peach Belt Conference.



When his college baseball career came to an end, Watson came home to start a career and carry on his family tradition of being community-minded Springfieldians. He also found a second life in baseball, the second chance, ragtag, independent Grip 'N Rip Baseball League.

Justin Skinner approaches entrepreneurship like he approached the baseball career that put him in the Missouri Sports Hall of Fame in 2020 — he's not afraid to try everything. April 5, 2022, Justin Skinner will release a book, "Professional Failure: Using the Gift of Failures to Better Not Only Yourself, But Those Around You." Learn more at http://professional-failure.com.



He also launched "The Professional Failure Podcast." https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-professional-failure-podcast/id1613170517



Somewhere under that entrepreneurship and budding career in content creation lurks Justin Skinner the baseball player. His influence still lingers in the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League, where he managed his men to back-to-back-to-back Howard Bell Trophy championships in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Skinner is also a member of the Drury University Sports Hall of Fame, where he was teammates with GRBL Commissioner Tony Lewis and a host of other athletes whose baseball careers found a second wind in the Grip 'N Rip.

There's a baseball league in Ozark, Missouri, and sometimes, it gets characterized as a league for old men. Some of the people who play in the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League self-identify as old men. Zach Ralph, Cole Haselhorst, Trevyn Batey, Chandler Maples and Kyle Carpenter are among the youngsters who lower the average age and raise the level of competition in #TheGRBL.
