Jewish Baseball - More Than A Game Episode 52 (Ben Leeds)

This week on Jewish Baseball – More Than A Game, we’re joined by Ben Leeds, a catcher at Union College whose journey is about far more than baseball.

As a practicing Orthodox Jewish athlete, Ben has shown incredible dedication to both his faith and the game—often walking miles to games on Saturdays to honor the Sabbath while still showing up for his team. His story is one of discipline, identity, and resilience.

Ben shares what it means to compete at a high level without compromising who you are, and how he hopes to inspire the next generation of Jewish athletes to do the same. We also dive into his upcoming trip to Israel, where he’ll be helping coach and grow the game internationally.

A powerful conversation about passion, purpose, and staying true to your values—on and off the field.
