Dexter Fowler is a World Series champion and MLB All-Star whose leadership helped propel the Chicago Cubs to their historic 2016 title. Known throughout his 14-year career as a dynamic switch-hitter and clubhouse catalyst, Fowler has since redefined himself as a broadcaster, entrepreneur, and investor. He’s a studio analyst for MLB on FOX, TBS, and MLB Network, co-founder of 400 Ventures, and part of the ownership group of Premier League club AFC Bournemouth.

Now one of sports’ most engaging new voices, Fowler brings the same energy and insight to audiences that he once brought to the field. He shares lessons on resilience, teamwork, and building a winning culture, weaving in his own story of reinvention: earning a college degree after retirement, competing in high-profile golf tournaments, and embracing life as a proud dance dad. Blending the wisdom of a champion with the perspective of someone navigating family, business, and life after the game, Fowler leaves audiences with lessons that resonate far beyond sports.

Dexter Fowler is a former Major League Baseball (MLB) outfielder who played 14 seasons at the highest level, making his mark as a dynamic switch-hitter and a leader both on and off the field. A 2016 World Series champion and MLB All-Star, Fowler was instrumental in the Chicago Cubs' historic championship run, forever cementing his legacy in baseball history. Born in Atlanta, Georgia, he made his MLB debut with the Colorado Rockies in 2008 before playing for the Houston Astros, Chicago Cubs, St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Angels. Known for his speed, leadership, and clutch performances, Dexter was a fixture at the top of the batting order throughout his career.

Since retiring from baseball in 2023, Dexter has continued to thrive in the sports and business worlds.
