About this listen

 Halifax, NS - In the latest episode of our athlete spotlight series, we had the pleasure of speaking with Ben Marsh, a talented pitcher for the Metro Brewers of the Nova Scotia Senior Baseball League. Ben’s journey in baseball is not just about the game; it's about the passion, the camaraderie, and the lessons learned along the way.

Starting from little league, Ben recalls his early days playing baseball in Nova Scotia, where he quickly fell in love with the game. Initially a hitter, he transitioned to pitching, where he found his true calling as a left-handed pitcher. Influenced by MLB star Clayton Kershaw, Ben admired his unique delivery and curveball, which inspired him to refine his own mechanics on the mound.

In a recent game against the Sydney Sooners, Ben showcased his skills by pitching a complete seven-inning game, leading his team to a thrilling 1-0 victory. As he describes, “It’s not all about me. I got a good defense behind me and just battling in and trying to keep it close.” This sentiment highlights the essence of teamwork in sports, where every player plays a vital role in achieving success.

The conversation also touched on the importance of building confidence within the team. With a shaky start to the season, Ben emphasized how crucial this win was for the Metro Brewers, stating, “This is huge. We talked about it all week.” The victory not only boosts morale but also sets the stage for future games as they aim to improve their record.

Beyond the field, Ben shared his love for traveling around Nova Scotia with his team, highlighting the unique experiences that sports provide. From playing in different venues to connecting with fans, he appreciates how sports can bring people together, making every game an opportunity for community engagement.

Ben also enjoys golf, particularly playing at Brightwood Golf Course. He shared a funny detail: even though he's a lefty pitcher, he golfs right-handed, a quirky twist that highlights his unique approach to sports.This episode is a reminder of the power of sports in shaping lives, building friendships, and fostering a sense of belonging.
