Ep.38 | Banana Baller Jordan Brewer

For episode 38, we welcome baseball player Jordan Brewer, who will soon suit up for the inaugural season of the Loco Beach Coconuts - one of the six teams that compete in "Banana Ball." Jordan joined us virtually to discuss his career path, from high school football and baseball star, to junior college, to Big 10 Player of the Year at the University of Michigan, to minor league player and now a Banana Baller. Jordan has also recently become a Nike N7 athlete.

Jordan, who is Pokagon Band of Potawatomi, is a testament to never giving up and overcoming adversity and taking the opportunities that come your way - even the ones that you least expect. 

We hope you enjoy learning more about Jordan, and make sure to check him out when the Bananas come to town. Preseason kicks off on February 26, 2026, with the regular season opening on April 16. Please download and tell your friends!
