Adam LaRoche played 12 seasons of Major League Baseball with the Braves, Pirates, Red Sox, Diamondbacks, Nationals and White Sox. He was originally selected in the 29th round of the 2000 MLB Draft by the Braves and made his MLB debut four years later in 2004.

During his career, he accumulated 255 home runs and 1,452 hits. In 2012, he was the Gold Glove and Silver Slugger winner at first base in a season that saw him hit a career-high 33 home runs and 100 RBIs.

Since retirement in 2016, LaRoche has been staying busy as a co-owner of Buck Commander with Chipper Jones, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Willie Robertson. He’s also in law enforcement, having gone to the police academy to be deputized in Ft. Scott, Kansas.

Today on the podcast, Adam LaRoche joins Jason and Scott to share about his involvement in countering human trafficking and their partnership with Water Mission. Adam shares stories of his experiences in Ukraine and the Dominican Republic, where he witnessed the devastating effects of trafficking and the importance of access to clean water. His faith in Christ fuels his passion for this work, and he encourages others to get involved and support organizations like Water Mission.
