Did you know that Brett Young was almost a professional baseball player instead of a country music star? He was almost drafted by the Tampa Bay Rays and Minnesota Twins after high school. Instead, he went on to play in college at Ole Miss and Fresno State.

So, lacing up those cleats and being on the pitcher’s mound isn’t unfamiliar to Brett. But this time, he joined the Savannah Bananas on the field at Grayson Stadium where he played a little baseball and did a little singing.
