During his last season with the Missouri Tigers baseball team, Broshuis achieved a perfect 11–0 season.Шаблон:Cn While there he played with future Major League Baseball stars such as Ian Kinsler and Max Scherzer.

Baseball career

The San Francisco Giants selected Broshuis in the fifth round of the 2004 MLB Draft.[3] Upon being drafted by the Giants, Broshuis was assigned to the short-season Salem-Keizer Volcanoes of the Northwest League before moving on to the San Jose Giants of the California League. In 2005, Broshuis was named to Baseball America's list of top 30 prospects for the San Francisco Giants. Broshuis returned to San Jose that season, and he finished second in the league in wins and in the top 10 in ERA.Шаблон:Cn This led to a late-season promotion to the Fresno Grizzlies of the Pacific Coast League, a Triple-A league.Шаблон:Cn

In 2006, Broshuis was sent to the Connecticut Defenders of the Eastern League,[3] where he played for the next three years, leading the league in losses during the 2007 campaign before finishing second in the league in wins during the 2008 season.Шаблон:Cn His playing career ended after the 2009 season.

Writing career

In 2006, Broshuis began writing a blog for The Sporting News. He did this for three years, writing over 100 articles in a Life in the Minors column. He also wrote pieces for several other publications. In 2009 and 2010, Broshuis wrote a regular column for Baseball America.Шаблон:Cn

Law career

In 2010, Broshuis enrolled in the Saint Louis University School of Law.[3] For the 2011–2012 school year, Broshuis was a staff member for Volume 56 of the Saint Louis University Law Journal.[4] During his last year of law school, Broshuis served as the Editor-in-Chief for Volume 57 of the Journal. He graduated valedictorian of his law school class in 2013.[1]

Broshuis is one of the lawyers representing former minor league players Aaron Senne and many other minor league players in their lawsuit against Major League Baseball for violating wage and overtime laws.[3][5] The case prompted legislative action, with Congress passing the Save America's Pastime Act in 2018.[6] The act amended the federal minimum wage law to create an exemption for minor league baseball players. Despite this, the lawsuit ultimately succeeded in garnering a $185 million settlement and securing important changes to the players' contracts in 2022.[7]

In 2020, Broshuis co-founded the non-profit Advocates for Minor Leaguers.[8] The non-profit advocated for better working conditions in minor league baseball, and it began organizing a player leadership group. Broshuis served as the President of Advocates for Minor Leaguers from 2020 until 2021. The non-profit was instrumental in the unionization of minor league players in 2022. [9]

For his work on behalf of minor league players, Broshuis was named to the National Law Journal's 2023 list of Plaintiffs' Lawyer Trailblazers.[10]Шаблон:Better source needed He was also named a Leading Commercial Litigator by the Daily Journal Corporation.[11]Шаблон:Better source needed
