Simon Gühring, German Baseball Champion

Episode 290

Simon Gühring is a 6-time German national champion baseball player.

Simon was just the 3rd German to sign a professional contract in the United States, where he played two years of pro baseball in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Following his time in the U.S, he played one year in the Netherlands and four years in South Africa. He moved back to Germany and has been the German national team captain since 2004. Simon helps coordinate our mission trips to Italy, Germany and South Africa as part of his work with UPI (Unlimited Potential Inc.) Ministries.  

On this episode of the podcast, we learn about baseball in Germany and talk to Simon about his pro journey, how he came to faith in Christ, how he lives out that faith as a German baseball player and what Christianity is like in Germany.
