Reggie Hollins | Creating Opportunity

Reggie Hollins, President of Minority Baseball Prospects, joins The Jeff Johnson Show for a conversation about creating greater access, exposure, and opportunity for Black baseball players—and building the infrastructure needed to turn those opportunities into real pathways.

About This Conversation

Reggie Hollins, President of Minority Baseball Prospects, is working to create more opportunities and stronger pathways for minority baseball players at every level of the game.

In this conversation, Reggie shares how his own baseball journey—including his experience at Tuskegee—helped shape the work he does today. We talk about the barriers young players can face, why exposure and access matter, and how Minority Baseball Prospects is building an infrastructure designed to create lasting opportunity.

We also get into leadership, relationships, persistence, and the bigger purpose behind the work. It’s a conversation about baseball—but even more, it’s about what can happen when you decide not just to identify a problem, but to help build the solution.
