Bobby Magallanes is the assistant hitting coach with the Atlanta Braves. As a player, he was selected by the Seattle Mariners in the 50th round of the 1989 MLB Amateur Draft and played several seasons in the minors before moving to play professionally in the Mexican League.
In 2002, he began his career as a coach and spent several seasons in the minor leagues coaching in the Angels, White Sox and Guardians organizations before moving to the Braves in 2019. After spending the Covid 2020 season as a minor league assistant hitting coordinator, Bobby finally made it to the major leagues in 2021 and was named as the assisting hitting coach with the Atlanta Braves. In his first season in 2021, he was part of a World Series championship team as the Braves beat the Astros in 6 games.
Today on the podcast, we talk to Bobby Magallanes about his long and winding baseball journey, staying the course of faith and never failing to trust God when things don't seem to be going the way he would want. He also looks back at the amazing 2021 MLB season and the emotions of making it to the majors and winning a World Series championship.
