Ian Happ Biography

MLB All-Star, entrepreneur, and podcaster Ian Happ is one of the most versatile players in Major League Baseball, both on and off the field. In 2022, Happ became an MLB All-Star and was also named a 2022 National League Rawlings Gold Glove Award winner. He is the MLBPA Player Representative for the Cubs – taking a leadership role in negotiations between the union and the league owners to find common ground. Furthermore, he serves on the Major League Baseball Players Association's Competition Committee and as a Pension Committee Representative on the Executive Board, further highlighting his leadership within the sport. Happ's ability to speak on the discipline required to excel, the importance of teamwork, and maintaining a winning mindset offers valuable insights that are applicable both on the field and in the business environment.

Before being drafted by the Chicago Cubs in the first round of the 2015 MLB Draft, Happ studied finance. He is actively involved in business investments and takes a hands-on approach in creating impactful partnerships. He and his brother, Chris, who is a CPA, share a passion for business. Happ also uses his platform to support charitable causes that align with his values. He is dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and incorporates meditation into his routine, a practice he adopted following the passing of his father in 2015. Happ is also the host and executive producer of "The Compound," a weekly podcast on Jomboy Media, a platform in which he is an investor. The podcast offers a blend of entertainment, sports discussion, and business strategy, enriched with Happ's personal insights on mental health, delivering content that resonates deeply with listeners.

Ian Happ, a switch-hitter, has demonstrated his skills in almost every position, having played every position except catcher and shortstop throughout his career. His versatility extends to a recent contract extension, which commits him to the Cubs through 2026, ensuring his presence in the team's future endeavors. Happ continues to be a pivotal player for the Cubs, balancing his on-field performance with his off-field contributions in business, mental health advocacy, and charity.
