Duke Ellis, a former Texas baseball player, had a turbulent 2024 season in MLB, moving between seven teams across four organizations. He debuted with the Chicago White Sox, showcasing his speed by stealing bases. However, he faced repeated designations for assignment, impacting his opportunities with teams like the Mets and Mariners. Ultimately, he signed with the Yankees, where he made the roster for the AL Division Series. Ellis reflects on the mental challenges of frequent roster changes, emphasizing personal growth amid adversity and the unpredictable nature of professional sports.
