This is you, you, you, you, you. ” But no, it is not like that, we are a team and we have to push in the same direction. Not only me. All.”
He laughed and shook his head. He described how, once the first burst of pressure wore off, he stopped trying to smash the ball to the moon with each hit. Then Soto took off his sunglasses and looked at the ground.
“It was weird, man. It’s crazy how everything changed, “he continued, pointing to the departures of Max Scherzer, Trea Turner, Yan Gomes, Daniel Hudson, Josh Harrison, Kyle Schwarber and Jon Lester, all in 30 hours.” It is so different for me. I always say that I will be a rookie forever. But now everyone looks at me like I’m the role model, and it feels weird. I don’t want to feel like this. I still want to feel like a rookie, but it is what it is. I just have to step up and keep playing baseball. ” He said Juan Soto.
