Insights from Juan Soto's Baseball Journey

at the moment it crossed your mind I I would have liked to be taking a turn There, of course, that's Harold's turn. turn hurt me that turn was not me who I had to come in as an emergency player wait I think you want an mvp I I want a gold glove more than a PM I tell the truth because the golden glove I open many doors and close many doubts if there is a topic that was handled in At some point it was the famous offer that Washington did to Soto first amount of 440 is true even if it does not say name how many teams were cut final so to speak How many The five teams were final which It was a collective decision, you know. We checked because there was a team that They offered more than loom but we analyzed the atmosphere things as they were in where I could fit in best During the 15 years say that he had a problem eh your family for sure Yankees and that's why he didn't sign false true they just announced it as 2026 team leader what opinion You deserve to be able to play for Alberto I know that will do a good job I think that for the figure that in order to control a Club House like the Dominican one Hello friends, greetings, welcome once again more to another edition of opening the podcast Thanking you as of custom the tune for being there for fidelity to share to begin and for making this podcast the number one of sports in the Dominican Republic and Latin America Why not thanks to our sponsors and good in the Today in the middle of I saw a server There is a man, a baseball player who is all world wanted to see the truth is that he gives few interviews because literally He talks to his bat, eh, lately he has been talked about him a lot because he has been a baseball player that everyone The world has it in its mouth due to a process from the negotiation that everyone I wanted to know what was going to happen to him. At a young age he is already a series champion world already has a batting title has gone The amount of all-star game has amount of silver bats and I think in the last C years is the most player shocking that has all major leagues I'm not saying this because he's Dominican and because It's here if its numbers don't say so The press says so and so does their conduct. that at such a young age he has many achievements What baseball players do not have when they have already retired with us today the one that everyone has wanted to see already You have it here in the Juan Soto podcast Juan dad how are you Hey but a cool intro what are you doing another one that's well it is not it is Well if you had done Juan's intro Soto what did I miss adding there? Not you You said everything, what else did you need? nothing I think you hit the nail on the head point with everything you needed tell the details Look at four sets of stars world series champion two first all NBA teams five bats of silver home r derby batting champion the national league and obviously Now it was to a world series and did what They could have fallen short against the the doers that we are going to talk about that By true of that world series to remember That's what it seems Because I gave him the First and last the dog left It was indeed molasses what is it uploading videos relaxing to the man that stayed there is not the molasses is of the mine always Looks for the way but no has not could not has not been able is tremendous ti of a José Ramírez crazy Oh my when you V interview in english you think of laela No, why would I throw it there? He himself was like that too, he threw it away How it turned out was worse Pam Pam and I but look at him how he talks normally because you have to throw it away and now without fear said that the tigers get into that pressure and that's where they really get stuck The tigers didn't say it, they really that every time they are going to give a interview looking for the translator In order not to Falling into the hands of Reyes is complicated Yes because he has many memero that They work for him all the time The last time I saw Juan was back in the quiya eh you went twice to the kella that you went with a child Yes yes with Ah the boy we made the make a there wish truth was something very beautiful that I wanted to meet you I wanted to meet you to his family and we met everyone and through the John Pame foundation we did tremendous work and we are trying to help his family yy their home so they can have a home where they can you know at least take refuge with whatever you can eventuality I imagine that you are that type of things You are not very into being showing the things you do behind the scenes No, I don't like it very much. You know why. I say that mostly the thing that I I do what comes from my heart I have always saying that he who comes to me It is difficult for me to leave now if I I see you and I see that you really love it. you deserve it, my heart comes out and I know that people say oh And how are you going to knowing about a person's situation yes But there are times when I go out to look for what what with what what and I there are times that I hear from person Look at this person is going through this that which you Do you think I'll meet up with my group there? We analyze and see what we do feel me If it comes from my heart and is silent and Another time I saw you was at the kella in middle of the final Right now we talk and I want you to say it Juan Soto was in the final of lidón according to him, you tell it the last one to leave when he saw his The chosen team lost a series Spectacular ending and I imagine that You as a baseball player will say as if you listen to me I like this movie because it has Play I would like to be full there in the mushroom with a turn actually me surprised i had never ever been part of a final in the dogado and with a stadium so full and there forming part of the team and sold me what he What really happened in Lidón, that noise that atmosphere that was inside It was something different I'm telling you I I was sweating I wasn't playing and I I told the tigers Wow but it's a constant noise That's not it That's it There there There the fans don't leave fans there the full time or be that year 27 yes if you look closely the Alibaba The Alibabas came down from up there Tigers of the drums the thing went down from up there and they climbed up on top of the dogado on top of the dogao to give it to him there and I looked and Oh what that And I what They make these tigers there and there There there there and I Wow but in the yan you don't see that you You hear the world series, what the hell? You hear a noise the world classic You hear a noise but when it is a people that is as if they were hitting you with the quech with a drum there and you wow But you know a vibe Yo I would say that I'm different, you know, no, I don't do it comparisons with the others but I say How different than any other baseball player would like to live That that experience That is, you are recognizing that you sweated that you pushed yourself You were there, don't pressure me, but, that is had like when you have that adrenaline Because when you are watching the outside game you are calm you you are relaxed you are you want that Your team wins But don't give yourself that adrenaline like when you are stuck in there when you're already inside there are another 500 already body moves differently and I felt like I was stuck in there That's what you had to ask or obviously you don't I was going to play Eh but at the moment you It crossed my mind that I would have been I would have liked to be fucking taking a turn there Of course that turn of Harold that turn hurt me that turn It was me who had to come in as an emergency wait for it They took a turn that Leiva takes and takes walk at bat Major League I said I Wow read, that is, it's a tremendous turn Sure, hey, I was there and I was like, Wow. dad God but wait because I want you You tell the whole story You said that You were going to stay in the game if there was a difference in race Of course it was If it was for two races or less, yes It was the game of two runs or less I'll stay until the end I I I am As my team, you know, I was with my team all the time all the time But you have to be realistic, you know, it comes. a point that but when I saw the adrenaline the thing and the atmosphere me I said we stay here Forget it and tell me from the stick of deam security because you know that security you have security that coordinate the exit the thing the thing Hey tell me what you did wait this is this It's spicy, watch out for people who are in tune with Puerto Rico from Mexico Venezuela we Venezuelans I I think they know but those who don't know We are talking about the Dominican league of baseball and the final that the truth It has been the most shocking with Juan, let's talk about everything big leagues and everything that is going to be talked about and We started there but it is I miss seeing a player of the caliber of Juan in the dogado bidding because he was bidding of course I wanted them to win he said Gilbert Gomez who when he was a road worker gave him He told the coach he took her out and didn't even look at her There you saw the home run and that is when he made contact You knew that you had taken out that was a sound different indeed when he gave her that firstly double when he gave the double I said no and gave it to him as far as possible No, there is no chance because I have everything A story I know I've never played in the but she has a story that the 4 11 is a myth That is for men and There have been many real men who they gave him away and nothing and when he he gave it to him not that he is not a tremendous amazing baseball player baseball player The Talent That boy has it on another level. But you know one bidding for his team one says no that eler Center that was double double when he gave it to her that I see that red turns his back on the ball i I say no but and what Oh and it gives up there I say I say I don't but that was a man who really gave it to him Wait Now that's another thing when he gives it to her So now he shows me that he can Take it out from any side of the Play There is no way anymore When he hit the home run that he gives him I'm waiting for what other home run at the Quique I have already seen Juan Francisco giving it to him I have seen a Seoul Matías Eli around here the cross pu you remember clearly the Home runs go and go falling falling but that ball was rising When he gave it to me I said no, that's it. It was an incredible blow That was the moment from him because the ball When it hit there up When he hit up there because it was up that gave there nobody puts it in I said There is nothing more to look for, you are not Cape not at all but what you see of a road worker You see him being a baseball player horse in the big leagues of course 100% 100% It is with God through talent that he is there just handle it and know how to behave during your career focused on a single point and that's it The talent is there and I imagine that So you stayed until the end that a turn came that if the ball it was itching, I caught a pooch and they took it out with that Oh yes, chopped Oh yes, chopped, you know I I give Oh but what what game what game In It was true, it was tremendous. No, I stayed. until the end already giving support to the boys and seeing what they can do you've talked about that before it will be Well, you say it here, it's up to you. I would like to play in a lidón sometime moment eh I think it's a wish that he has All Dominicans, practically all the boys have played vlady has played Rafael de Tati has also played but the People want to see Soto in uniform from high school Yes I do eh I've tried Because many people say no He hasn't played because he doesn't want to but when you see since 2017 that I draftees every year there is always something every year there is always something that does not leave me eh debut with the team but I do I I have I have hope that that sooner or later the moment will come I already spoke to the owner of the game loom I told him Hey I need a pair of I play there in the Dominican Republic and he looked at me and I He said How and I really do I'm saying and laughing he told me that I I was going to give 10 designated games and I said Well, you already spoke the truth, there is already a First step, I will never forget that one. word Exactly You said 10 games already There is no turning back and anything Sure, but at least until now. There are 10 ahead, ahead, we'll see. When will we look for the date where It suits me best and we'll do it like this. You know I was thinking about him process of when we already know that you we give interview you think think and the People think that being Juan Soto is easy where i go You signed when you were 16, like when you were 16 years like Julio do truth But before signing your work was constant That is, you you are not where I am going you are not a normal child while there were other children doing other things you were in a play involved with a responsibility of that Soto had to sign Soto signs What was your bonus I didn't 1.5 1.5 sign for a pun Ah they gave him 1.5 millions of dollars is a millionaire but After that comes another degree of responsibility and then Soto debuts with 18 years old and with 19 there is a series world and have gone step by step responsibility rising until you You became the best athlete today paid but people don't see how difficult it is what is what is how difficult it is to be Juan Soto or how difficult it has been to be Juan Soto from the age of 16 until route of the 26 years I think It has not been easy, I think. Every athlete, not just Juan Soos, but everyone every high performance baseball player high performance not only a baseball player but High performance athletes have to sacrifice many things has to sacrifice many things and sometimes even friendships you know eh family The family will always be there for you, it will always be there for you give support but there are things that need to be done sacrifice and that's where where the thing changes where it turns you into a elite average or mediocre baseball player you know It depends on the sacrifices you make making sacrifice that you make that there is people who say no me why I'm going to I have practiced Ho I practiced for two days in the week and I practice two or Three days a week I am ready no It's a job constant and I believe that since I was 16 I have gone every year learning something new you know 2017 was a crucial year for me in my career that He taught me many things and I give him Thank God because I have always saying that God is that He has had mastery and control of my career and my life of everything that I do thanks to the Lord he has had I say that he had a plan and i followed that plan since day one since before me sign he had a plan he showed me the path and I thank God I have tried to follow it as best as possible eh No It has been easy as I tell you, you have to sacrifice many things eh yes exit yes yes get together yes chelcha that if You go to bed late that if I got up at 5 in the morning and trained I mean, it's something incredible and I believe that one of the things my coach has been a key part that has helped me to not lose focus on my goal in what It has been the off-season which is where plus the baseball player if he gets distracted I would say I don't know out of focus, distracted by everything that He has a medium and he has helped me a lot that this discipline of on guard because it is a guard discipline that that he put into us What a time You have been working with him since I since I filmed since I I filmed 2015 I started working with him In the dead season from 15 to 16 at 5 o'clock in the morning you have to be on your feet there because at 6 o'clock you have to start all Monday to Saturday and people I said but on Saturday there is also a objective a goal that we are seeking the goal is what you said something key Now that it is not for the baseball player That is for life of course There are beings humans who are good regular good and others who reach Excellence there is that the topic of sacrifice comes as You reach Excellence, of course, of course. that you want to get up there because Nobody starts up there, not impossible So if you want to get up there There is a process that you have to go through and Little by little, step by step, you are arriving until you arrive and when you arrive Now when you arrive, don't leave Don't let yourself fall Stay up and that That's one of the things one of the mentalities that we have always had with all this process since We started in 2015 until now I I liked two things that you said about him is up to you for training I mean, he's a guy that you know that when You have to take that call. clear and that you have it for you You have a lot of respect, of course, and that's how it is. He also in the in the part of the training is with me 100% in the part of education and focus and of the discipline there was my mother and my Dad, they didn't take that. So you, you Hey I liked that part of your success is raising children in your home and others too So your coach is the one being your father of course is It is one of the people you know it's always been there He is part of the circle I don't say I I treat everyone my dad and my mom are number one clear after that comes everyone but that group that circle What comes after them I always do I treat everything the same because my uncles my coaches all all all who was there at that moment that always I recognize that it was around me that He helped me, I always thank him because It was always with a goal and a focus and They saw the talent in me and They always supported me you mentioned the 2017 that changed something what happened in 2017 in 2017 I I learned eh A how to the route the the real route to the big league, that is, I played 23 games I was doing great, cut eh I injured my ankle they send me to Florida lasted two and a half months with a boot on the foot Hey, I'm recovering, I'm getting ready, I'm ready. ready to go back I'm happy because I want to go back there to class. average when I arrive I start hard five matches nothing but rija and I break the HB hand in hand there again the process One and a half more months to recover get ready what's up already at that point after I recover they tell me Don't forget about middle class, your thing is here it ends here in the rooky eh the team goes to the playoffs eh get ready for that so you have your first playoff experience yy enjoy and try to win the Championship and then comes pentru eight games in the first game of the playoffs I'm going to improve a hry one for him Wow in the third Lion of the literal year I reaching second by taking the train He got there he didn't ask me does it hurt where it hurts you how it hurts you outside Him He told me let's go, your time is up season he didn't tell me anything else He told me He said let's go come your time is over season forget about the other come and me but here it hurts me and he tells me vv Don't worry, we'll check you inside. Forget about everything another and that year he taught Eh many things Because later when I get to the Instructional I arrived a little rainy because I wasn't working I see all These tigers are ready running batting pulling doing everything I say I believe that I am a little like late and that was where I opened the eyes and I said Okay I have to work and prepare myself for I came to compete with those tigers that are there Healthy competition without envy without but I come to this or at the level or I have to prepare myself better than them And that's when I got hooked. little light bulb that every dead season I have to come and prepare myself for myself arrive ready and thank God so I did and it was and there was that 2017 that was my The worst year in my career took me to 2018 that was the best year of my career there Debut in the big leagues eh a debut that all Dominic Vio Hron included How it comes That call goes to Major League That call I was not waiting First of all, my mentality because How can I tell you the mentality that I had? That year was at another level, I arrived from the institutional of United States eh me in 201 yes they invited me to that of Dominican but I was there for TR forward because I was doing rijad and what I told him was No, I'm leaving to my house and I trained at my house First I told my coach It was ayy I told him Hey I'm going to Grande League you are going to help me for the Major League and he told me let's go to the Major League. We are going to work for you What can not be done fail but he doesn't know about the ball he thinks that I am already as I am in the States United he thinks I'm one step away Major League and it is not like that because he is working with Domingo Santana who already had Major League experience eh lyrian rhyme eh peñalo a group of boys who or had tried the big league or had already played the strong double up there Hey, and he thinks I'm at the level of your tiger And I remember that I told him I'm going For the big leagues you are going to prepare me For me, I'm going to the big leagues big league no Ah okay come on come on fire and I remember I that there is a fucking J who is his friend who tells me J Hey where you played last year I told you I said class in short e Sorry for the half class to half and I He says but Major League next year and I told him yes Major League That's the my mentality with which I come says [ __ ] we are going to be a little more realistic double to that double A how many games you played i said i played 23 games and I was injured the whole year no I served more tve to start in the middle and maybe I ended up in the strong we are going to be a A little more realistic is not for Grande League that I'm going you forgot about that oj that What he told you is normal, of course. that your mentality Hey he was fine he was in he point he was on the point but I gave It's not that for Grande lig My mind It's great, I'm going to work this year For me to reach the big leagues I'm not going to work so that I can stay, that's what I want double to ni no no no for Major League that Me and the coach told me I'm going with Wherever you say that, we will work I fall behind you and that was that year We work tirelessly all year round We don't miss a day every day there there there and my body and everything started to a point that I was the best I think one of the best moments physically I was in my I had a race and when I arrived PR Triner was tearing off the heads of everyone who I was passing by and this was it 18 already in 2018 when I arrived in 2018 I I arrived and everyone was left with the open mouth truth And so it was that I started in the middle again And I ended up in the big leagues, thank God. and the step for example you said that the 17 was a year of change because there you As if you already learned how to work, that is because it is not And they have not said that many baseball players are not that you work A lot is how you work but you had your coach in 17 or you hire for the 18th of course I had it in On the 17th I was in a good position. in the 17th What happens is that it was a me I desic in hpl and I got the hook grabbed and I got injured which was not due to lack of training okay but the self sitting all that time eating I get fat I get out of shape Because the reality I was not doing Nothing and my thing was therapy to eat now sleep therapy eat now sleep Normally, during those times I gained a little weight. plus the thing this that Then When I saw the competition that Competition arrived ready for intrusion They come from playing the whole year the world is ready there the only one who I was flabby and I said Don't wait And That made you react, of course it motivated me Because I have always told people is to motivate yourself you have to look for one motivation in what you are going to do bus a motivation that that motivation goes Take out 110 for you but there is a detail here Listen to this in 2018 starts batting at highest true 373 in 16 games that minor league yes minor league you They raise how much you hit do you remember 300 and pic also 371 a long beak right To be clear there you have it promote I have beaten 80 280 and Ah no it was better 323 323 323 leave it like that, better better in May 20 you They go up or you debut in the big leagues But how was the going up Hey the call we were in double jeez I I remember that they just raised me At double o'clock we were arriving at San Francisco and that day it rained and we are going to play double game the next day we will play double game the next day and Getting ready for the first game of the double game we are watching a game the game of the nationals that they They also had double play and we are watching the game and we see what happens to jawi kendry foot injury pa everyone falls, the whole club freezes He froze, nobody moved, nobody said anything Everyone is in a panic I say Well Here I am, looking There is the other prospective DJ Johnson next door mine we are there and Kelvin

go up to Grand League are injured in triple to nothing more and old and the and almost all the injuries of all of Roble They were like months, Bautista's is the whole year outside and Ja kendry the year whole outside with the with the Here we have to bring up a baseball player that it is good and that it can last that it does not that it will not affect them that they have to lower it from new and nothing we left the game there we went to We play but already in the game I I'm realizing what's going to happen how do you realize or I'm going to bat I'm in first class and there's a guy being high time and I am like this and the third way giving me a sign you don't see me Don't move anywhere, I don't steal just in case but like that year I was I was going to rush towards anyone so and every time he throws a ball I Give the signal not to go anywhere Guti is coming to bat behind mine gives a double pa for the wall I go chipped by the base I floor second I I look at the ball and say Well, I'm not there. Here when I raise my head Stop, he's been like that since I set foot there the base stopped where it goes stopped and I I get to Third and when I I turn around, that's where the ball is coming I say that there is something strange here. It's okay, it's a little wet the ground is not wet either and I say Well maybe it's because it's wet They might as well give me a Fly for me to ride leave Stay here Just stay here He forgot to grab me by the leash. Stay here don't move don't move don't Go for nowhere my mother is The game is going well.

Three pass Ah Exactly because it was there Hey, what was he? Hey, what was he? heart to cento and pico and I made three Win Just like that, the three of you left the mouth Then I went to the hotel. I even looked for a video of Los Tigres de debuting to calm myself down Ah to see how it debuted to feel you Well I did an experiment because I I always try to be one step ahead. I looked for a video of the first shift of Los Tigres from such a figure Mars of Joseph shines of all Those horse tigers horse What was it that they had in common everyone chewed gum that It's the nerves I said there's something here because everything everything I've seen everything is there chewing gum I have to do it same pa the day came the practice the thing I I'm like this look at him in the first one time I get a Fly to the led I stop my flygo my play everyone Oh my mother I grabbed her when I arrived to the crazy eight eight counted eight so eight chic Grand you can search the video yourself You can search for the video Hey A thing like that Look, I was saying, if I didn't get it here I got these nerves down There's no way I can The nerves went away, I went in to bat and Eh yeah It really helped me, it really helped me a lot. matique chile and then it was like that I calmed down, analyzed the situation, what was going on And I already knew what was going to happen. I saw her up there and I knew at once That was the three-run homer races I already knew the situation a Damn little lefty, I read everything Hey it was like in a second relationship It was like God told me Look at that This is what is going to happen to this and now as that came to me like this because I once saw second and third I did not find a hole in The Lomita does not pull very hard what is it he wants He's going to think that I want give a Rolling here or a Fly here to move it and bring it that he is going to try to make me throw a challenge out to see if I can roll over there oo I'm going there so that the one of second Do not move at least everything this in the process of the turn you thinking I entering the second grade matter of seconds I said he's going to me Throw a challenge out and I'm going to give it over there by the lef Hit that hard That was what came to my mind at the situation I looked at the situation, analyzed and I said he's going to throw a challenge out Hit it hard over there for the lefil forget about the other That's how he was He tried to throw it at me. He threw it at me. Ching high when I gave it to him there goes biker to run the you read there going through the base Yes since s since I turned around in 10 seconds there you yourself Welcome to the Major League you same not that was that environment that there was There the stadium the noise the people that was They say it's incredible that when he said good Alberto pool when is 700 he the journey From the bases he was thinking about all of them the things that were happening in the year I imagine that when you did it you had to go thinking running for first for second maybe Hey I'm here it was I'm here and it really was more Giving thanks to God because since it dawned since The day has come, I thank God That's why I've always said that he had a plan and it was the plan perfect Why my mom my dad not They had been able to get a ticket for arrive for the 1pm game the day before the maner makes me don't feel me put me to debut later and what Come on, I'm not giving my first G there Your mom and dad are not there, they are not there. there My dad and my mom arrive and I'm the only one What do I say to him, Father God, Father God, give me the chance that my mom and dad take me first G the first ball of my first G That's what I want and they were there and I gave it over there and that was it planned by daddy God because the ball I I gave him a fan in the chest and fell into the opposing team's vulpen and I know you have the ball, I imagine my house authenticate not say that authenticate the ball a fan made So it hit him there, it hit him in the chest and he fell in the bullpen of the San Diego team or may it not only be that your dad was there and your mom is the ball that is obviously a historical memory for you You have to authenticate it at your home in my house so that you have a idea that it wasn't the home run that wasn't that I could have gone the other way and that a fanatic has it and that he doesn't tell me He wanted to give but I told him Dad gave that My dad and my mom can take it and that is it just like that c over there and if you see that After I write down I do this for above I don't know where They are I know that they know that I did that to him them and I wrote it down but it was for them but they were much further back But I know it was for them I gave it to them I let you know that's for you gelo te You stayed as you told your lawyer you stayed at 18 at 18 you finished giving 22 home runs 25 batate 292 with obp above 400 nothing strange in the gentleman and you finished taking 400 turns That was already with 19 years old and then comes the 19th already Soto established in the big leagues ends up hitting 34 home runs the first time that you give 30 in your career in the second year but here comes something that It usually doesn't come with a baseball player. 20 years a world series comes in the year 19 people know your number the theme It's that you've already acclimatized yourself to great heights leagues because you had already given 20 and you gave 30 but you are playing a series world with 20 years Tell me about that atmosphere of that environment and what touched you also get your hands dirty because we I really liked Strasburg but we took him a little pique because if you hadn't been by strasburg you would have mvp of the world series Tell me about the series world of 19 2019 was a very special year well nice for me in my career He taught me many things He taught me How to move the Grand League How is it handled I had many veterans many veterans around me and I believe that in the playoff them They were like the base that helped me to be able control all the pressure things We literally went to the Play to play ball and forget about the rest and for me to handle all that they in reality all the boys who were They played a role in there. a role that helped me feel like I was playing a peasant in Dominican there was no one there with pressure there you didn't see anyone say that taqu calia that that after us We won because we said Wow we won the world series after after before was everything the world is loose everyone is loose Hey come on come on there come on that And that's it spread that Toy boy to everyone and it was us against the world Forget it This group in here was made of everything against whoever comes, be careful that they were not favorites in the postseason you They beat the Dodgers who were the favorites we were never favorites and when and when we both beat him And that's where we went up, we went up. as priced as they say they believed full Hey, boy, that's where it was We said we do not trust because That was another one because there are a lot of people who He says they didn't trust us. They never trusted us. We trust but we did know that what I said because Saint Louis wanted it We won the two MM and San Luis was come on for him house clear that was once including a jon from you to Clone K who has to enter among the most special of your race Yes yes yes it was a jon eh incredible there that from there literally That's where I start my career learn how to play with the mind of the pitchers explain that please because a veteran like Clayton Kelson of Saon fame at Pit Trestle because you have to give it to him, he is a horse and Do you know what you're doing there? No, no. There is something else but that he is warming up in the bullpen and every time I turn to look at him, he stops and doesn't wants to throw the ball now I say yes there is a pressure cool mental Wait Wait for the bup behind the clear leil then you you turned around from the le from the le you can't see the bullpen only the one you see queche What's up, they're giving a fa over there for the line and I run out and I Innocently I turn back and I look at the bullpen and the I see him warming up and I see that the guy is I don't know I don't know if it was that he saw me or what but the guy was going to do his thing he was going to pull for the rubbers and he stopped and took his foot out and did not throw the ball don't fuñas and I stayed Look like this Look at the whole road I was looking at it and walking and looking at it and walking and the I almost dropped the ball, jerk and I looking at my bup and looking at it and walking and he looks like that with the ball not He never wanted to throw her away since I I turned around and nothing happened and I heard the pa that threw the ball and Ah you thought I said that guy already I'm winning because I'm already there his mind I'm already in the mind of him because he's going to come in For me eh he It's not going to be for anyone, it's for me that He came to throw me at me, Aon took out the side and then nob to see on the other in but in the in before that when I I saw it myself I said it is with the mind that we are working you being a kid 19 years old 20 to 21 20 to 21 20 after that you stay watching the pitel after that I learned many things about how he plays with the mind with the pitchers mind because you You look at him and say yes to him. times or tells him that no that's there but one thing to kcho Then he looks at him when kcho comes in and you It's your turn to face him coming off a home run He just got hit with a home run when I face what the game puts one that p the game of one and me in my mind I was saying I Rendón give a double that I'm going to take it out I already have it round home run I said now it's my turn and so on It was he himself who threw that little deer at me when he says so take let's go Yes and game draw the game draw but I was working on it, you know the series whole because I got on him Home also sometimes like he n threw Outside I got on the H and one of Bol in one gave me a Bol in another gave me a He pulled this way when I was riding him He didn't feel comfortable, I was already seeing him. analyzing and when he did that in the bullpen that's where he finally told me I got you what for that he doesn't know what It's what you put on the Home Oh that I I hit home and put it inside I hit home because he didn't throw to me He was just throwing me at me out to out the slider to out out out and he gave me to him I went up to Jen and told him to throw the L for Outside there I couldn't find any way out throw and even gave me a return without wanting to because he didn't when he saw me that I He wanted to pull me in, but he couldn't pull me in. In that year he couldn't throw me out inside and gave me a return that yes or and I had never given him a stick he was little rincito alol punch rolin that s What's going to happen? I hadn't given it to him a stick to him but I had already done it mentally worked you have it deciphered and that day he threw that at me I hit the Vallenos home run that ties it the game and in extra innings Washington wins the game they win and move forward then that was Aon kcho but after the world series I I want you to confirm something to me about that there Dad years ago 10 years ago there was said you are going to play world series celebrating birthday yes that's how it was we were watching a ball game you can't put I was very small eh but we were watching a ball game I don't remember if it was a World Series event I think I think it was a world series It was at my house we were there watching the he and I play sitting on the bed and he He told me one day you will play there in the world series You're going to be there the On your birthday you are going to play in One birthday is on October 25th and I He said you will be there because you are a horse and you go to play and you go be There one day you will be there and I Damn, finally I will do what you say, daddy Exao I didn't put M it's okay if you do you say okay AC more or less what age you were I cum 21 10 years before 10 11 years no no no no I was younger that being like 7 or 8 years old and chu te Do you remember that word? Of course, because I We are watching normal television. I was like 8 or 9 years old and we were watching a game that's why I tell you no I can tell you which one would be world wide or which one game was what we were watching because We watched a lot of games winter We did see a lot of games though winter because I sometimes told him why what are they playing ball in December and He told me no, that's here, that's here and in Where then take me you know and I will I agree that this time it was a series world because he told me there one day This is what you are going to play there in that series world on your birthday You go play and gave gave Wow how heavy coincidentally Then it is given the chance that you are in series World Cup turns 21 years old there and then I mentioned you kow But You give him two hits and now I'll I think you order me to give him a kick first to Jerry and then you give another one to Justin Berlander The shuffle was included there including everything we already have with a confidence about you say something key that when you beat the two that you understand and say We can roll whoever we want stop us here in front so that you know That's your mentality too that you started putting cod berlander in a complicated position Of course because in those times they were dominant total Say that the last race they did It was like in June, the guy threw his horse. respect so that you are the best and in those times you know there were few guys who They were throwing that challenge up up up Then they Opa Opa also came and they had just won You already know Opa Opa Come on, you already know and We are not calm, we are We nationals will see each other here when We march to you Adante Guerry I got involved three stones on the first turn that Wow because the jump from nlcs to the series world It's a difference you know and more When you go as a visitor against the one a team that did not pass TR they come to beat the Yanis and they are like this eh but we come from winning against the doel also that they are also like that Exact Then the first shift passed me three and Then in the second turn I said he will want to come with the same dose But I was already ready and he threw me a slider I said to change my eyes and I said You know what's coming real wine and Tin Tan over there up and at that time I was lacquered in the world series I was lacquered because in the ncs as that me I lost a A little bit but thank God the team did not I needed them, they swept me away, they didn't need me but in the world series I turned on the engines what does it mean when A baseball player is lacquered that there is no pitching that makes him falter you see everything in slow motion up you curve You see it from the hand everything changes You see everything and you are there and You say I'm going to give it over there and it is over there and I'm going to give it over there and it's over there and you feel like that in a moment like this and you feel that No one can cross you, you feel walker in the chosen one That is to say, the road worker was next to him was lacquered that is lacquered that is of a road worker and insecure they were lacquered that which could not be punctured You can't throw it anywhere because they are going to give it to you there for Here, where they say it is not for Where you say is where they say that they are going to give him the voice You know that Speaking of Lao I don't think I have I've seen a turn and I'm going to fly and then we return that ron against cand in the series from last championship I don't know if that is your level of lacquer Higher than you had contradicted was that against garis garis garis Exactly because I really O be that turn we are in Miami I will I remember how now with you you gave it like five like five FAO yes eh Yes like five faos Yes I remember that he threw you a cock out and you gave him FAO for outside you peeled a couple of pitches Yes and Then he came to you with a straight line high far away but far away that one had I don't know how many feet were there but it was far away far away I gave her I hit her hard It's true that he hit her clearly because the guy came to show off, that was it, that was it an analysis that I made of that guy Aha But what was the analysis because you Come on, the turn that you say, you don't give me any you will be able to you will not be able to pass and Everything I threw at you had no way out ball and you I saw it ball I in that shift My mentality was when I entered the turn I was taking a good turn from a Hip in the middle Put me chat that was my mentality Put me chat you for the middle situation there are two I want Don I don't I want to try to get it out because Right now I'm giving a deep Fly, that's no good. I want Don because the second type He's going to write me down, I think it was Jason Dominguez who was in second and I say He's going to write me down So what I do I want is one that I want nothing more because it comes behind comes no no the closer of us m who is going to come to take out the three cars once the guy is on Then there is no longer a ghost runner in the playoffs that I that they are going to come with second-class people is not from scratch you have to do it and that's it We have the chance there. So My mentality was that I joined but when We went between the turns and he threw me a slider Then he threw me another perfect pitch bring one one and one throw me a slider half by half and I peel it I say Wow Father God I calm down and try to lower the revolutions Because I got too big Okay, let's go back The guy threw me a change that is one of The most important changes I saw in the playoff That ball when it came out That was already you know and I give him FAO when I gave him FAO to That ball I said Forget that you no, now you are already there and That is, even giving FAO You already knew that It was already taken if I gave FAO to it best pitch he's ever thrown me in the playoffs whole throw whatever you are sound damn you're ugly because what already but you threw me away, I had thrown you away Slider threw you a change, there's nothing else Then he comes back and throws me the change. I give another fa then he comes and throws it at me slider and there I give an fa to the slider that he said a FAO bacano a FAO for where don't say that an FAO that that say that no no I agreed that I just missed the ball and He realizes but that the guy was a Really professional, the guy never told me taught me that weakness the guy all the time had with the same the same approach the same mentality because times one Look for reactions you give fa already Sometimes you do it and you say it's already taken It's already taken, you can delete that pitching I see that you play a lot with That with the topic of obviously deciphering pitching but deciphering reactions too of the pitching clear clear is what gives you Because I am always eliminating myself I'm on the straight line but I'm eliminating I'm eliminating So when I I give it that F that sl I say that is it The only one who hasn't thrown me straight is He comes and I tell him, I tell him change what else are you going to throw away leave me surprise Bob when I gave him That was what he wanted I'm blowing leave when you gave it to him you knew that I had left I gave it to him when I gave it to him I hit her hard I hit her hard but say very high What happens when I give it to you, I'm pushing and I go away I left and when I saw that Eloma was attached to the wall I said I'm already gone if he stuck to the wall as I hit it it went away it is from on the other hand a light perreo exo clear no what is that he was strapped was he was strapped and it was to go to the World Series It was that for Tri that We were going to the world series of course that we go and obviously it was not because it was the route but a three-race stick and then you clinch the world series or that cleland was because Cleveland there was a game that the yanis They were winning, John is coming. keny a stick game and then came fry and also gives a jon and they lose the game gave a good stick we were in Miami that game we were really with smile Watching the game parenthesis the People wonder why everyone He has life but the ball, that doesn't happen eh Step kry when he makes a three point shot Ronaldo does the thing with his hand, right? When he scores a goal he has a celebration Messi too but the ball usually the baseball player to MZ Sami Sosa that when the He took out a jump and that was evident but the baseball player doesn't have like a trmk as if it doesn't have the depends no but you I say no, there are no, I don't, I don't see many baseball players with a brand that you you identify for example ma tro has a 15-year career What does teacher do? Yes but you know that master That is his Style what I tell you where I'm going Look jeffre yang yes jeffre yang jumps a saltic tea also and it cleans your voice cleans I imagine Of course, the ball is cool as an essence, as which doesn't allow much of that but the shuffle It has become a brand I don't know what else They would have hit him hard a while ago while but the issue is Where does it come from? the the collected Where does that come from? picked up started in class at half we are One rainy day there's a thing and it's like Everyone down as if nobody wanted to play So I'm you know fucking My pitching trying to find a motivation for me to feel good and every Every time I catch a Pich there is a guy He was a guy I had in the Phillies yocho Romero gave me two punches day Wow eh that guy has a picket One and I say I have my pickets also and you know among the mud the and one there in Chelcha and Los Tigres They started to tell me what that was. I was the one what but that I in my mind I am enjoying my normal t that FES you You were like dancing there and I was doing nothing. feeling the Flow the thing tells me You have to be careful with that thing you They bend here and who is going to bend me? me you are crazy and I kept doing my thing and that's when little by little I went developing it and it became a The driver hit the mark in that playoff of the year 2019 yes eh that is there It is that kind of starts people Oh and this Boy what are those games? Washington people like you know is half were half short salt there it started Everyone is talking about it Rodriguez Big Dad, I remember that they made David for you an interview and they touch on the subject but What do I tell you in the middle of a shift that you No baseball player wants to admit it. to do something like that. In other words, chuel is a Juan Soto's brand that if you think about retired active baseball player from Grande Leue Who does things that have to be patented in middle of a shift Of course you are a thing It must also have value because it is easy to twerk after you take it out But before The problem is the pressure after because I was struck out after the chof and they have thrown out my eye and I say you won Congratulations But there are people like you It's clear Congratulations you already won Ah because It's true that perreo comes after the stick. of course not in the middle of the shift is risky few people do a perreo before of the turn you know and the Yes and the no in the process of the turn that is instinct that You take a pitch or peel a pitch and You say as if Yes I read it as you I have that was more like that little by little It has come out because that comes out from here that in my mind that I when I fail a I pitch for a pitch and I Okay, now you had as it is already Then little by little I once noticed that there was a Pich who like what Oh and I okay And he made me like this backwards Yes, I go there and I don't, so come on. And so on. It was a war, boy, and that's where I got it. I liked the guy, I don't remember. when he once struck me out or something I don't know but it was in vain that I said Okay now There are tigers that respond to you back and they react to you there are times that I I want him to react to me, you know that Dominican particularly likes That is very much enjoyed. Amen to that You take it out or you don't take it out then the thing about provoking the s to Dominican I don't know if you have noticed that the Dominican likes that part of you taking turns of course Dominican likes chipa Dominican is not afraid eh No no no no Exactly it is the spark of course the people Dominican is not afraid, the Dominican goes forward and that is not n in ball that in life you put a Dominican wherever and they go to to sour forward is literally like that because you know I'm New York and I I know a lot of people and Dominicans know it search as it may be in any area of ​​the life clear You know that in the 19th it has an episode I don't want to skip that because for me it was key in your shot at people's popularity So that was one and that's when you You take it out and you take it out to Verlander but The breakman hits a home run and with that bat in hand practically twerking first base falls Oh he caught you and you did the same very clear you thought about it I'm going to tell you the same thing true Let's see there are many people who are going to say that I am a talker but when she I took this out because it was for me I turn around when I turn around I see that he throws the And what you see is that he steps on it first and throw the bat like this to back and I say Oh what a cool crazy I swear to you I don't came out say that say that say I honey but Look how cool and I'm going to take it out and I'm going to do the same thing literally that was it I said I'm going to take it out and I'm going to do the same because we don't get it here that But look Hey he threw the bat of all back and in my mind there in the lef I I'm thinking I Oh I mean you liked it What did he do to me? Of course, how cool I am I'm going to take it out and do the same thing so that they feel the K too Of course because you as I tell you when They arrived when we arrived They are hton Opa Opa we come from winning yv hton who won in the 17th which was the world series in 18 and you go on 19 to man likes the open chest of course I come open Eh then I say let's do the same and thank God it was my turn to me because I told the tigers and to take it out, put the bat over there for the one that touched me I took it there Look at this for yourself You can't say anything anymore you can't say nothing you did the same then These are things that in the game at that time moment that was what I thought I I'm going to take it out and I'm going to do the same thing and trotting then he is watching you tube is watching you Correa is watching you watching breakman is that they are me seeing everything that they are going to see because they know what I mean because I I looked at him as he walked away and he turned his back on me face and there really that was in the game six Aha after that it was already altube Correa and Springer and bretman He was offside because he thought that they were going to dub it That was your third of the series I thought they were going to hit exa against berlander was that him I thought they were going to double him and now he The plan was don't give it to him, leave it thinking they would throw one here and one for out and out and the man already prisoner that he got out of and he got himself out of the world series himself himself after that hron already breman outside é I think it was a line to the Center after that and the game is no longer won you guys another salt stras for me for Dominican Republic completes The most Juan Soto must have been valuable if They played with my feelings also clear the MP of the world series but when we are on the stage I The girl calls me and says Juan and what about me? passed I'm here Come to Acanthus Come to Here ahead you go here ahead Ah you said mine Hey there was oak Ren Elias DIF all the world I say Well the mvp arrived and there is A red corvette is parked there. Look at the front I say good for Dominican and the chick comes and I'm here here yes right there Stay there and the ceremony the thing and I'm like this look like Mocha waiting for when he comes not now We are going to present the MVP of the series world Steven Strasburg and gave Wow you didn't tell me to put it on Of course, why do you tell me to put myself? Here ahead she told me to put myself forward for nothing and I am not happy with it truth glad because it was not that I felt unhappy to play your I felt clear played with my feeling I said wow how can you do that to me no damn Yes he played with me and gave wow But better Leave me there if she doesn't call you already I am fine with the one who does not remember Soto gave three hits in the world series towed seven beat 333 obp Of 438 nothing rare two doubles nine hits six runs scored Strasburg shot very well but we Dominicans in general They played with these feelings that were not There were three cheap heroes, there were three heroes the key moments of course cl Exactly there were three men at the time important of the world series but it It was important that you won the World Series That was the satisfying thing Ah yes so less me also they gave me the the Ruth award that is not talked about much who were the two best baseball players in the postseason complete Steven Stras and Juan so But for that doesn't hurt cabbage don't listen to me you know that eh Ah but true Who decided the Cher of the playoffs there are the baseball players We baseball players decide that It was decided by the horse guys I imagine the older ones Cher eh No no not a complete team Aha the nationals full team that is decided by you still You hadn't even entered arbitration or anything I imagine at least that was like that first nice heavy you said Uh Oh but I got the same amount that I earned in That whole year came to me in about playoffs, they are only good with that That's a baita, there we fix a couple of houses in the house and the thing Uh but no no much to what was a had it there heavy You know we can go m seeing us in the 2020 pandemic season eh a year complicated for everyone eh But you got to that season and get your first batting title eh and what was it that you did that was everyone was locked and had a level of barbaric approach that you came and you were in your prime batting title obp leader slogin leader leader Ops leader Ops tight boba and all that you were the one who invented knowledge of metrics that leader year but I was not the mvp second the question too but no That year I think that was the year that I played more Nintendo How so That was PlayStation that I I just played I went to the Play and then I was locking myself up because I don't have the D [ __ ] that could not be there was no way nothing to do but not the focus of that year was different you know I had Kevin long Hey, I had a start that was very good. And I think that's what helped me. When the season started I lasted the 14 days locked up due to covid eh For a false positive that that no that It didn't work that it came out positive but I didn't have covid and I lasted 14 days locked as you like after that The season started and it started right away I remember that when I had covid In those 14 days something that helped me a lot It was that the team's str coaches me I lived literally across the street from stadium and they came and took me one They took a bat from me on my bike They brought me a ball, they brought me a net They bring everything to the apartment there Up there you were literally alone with my mom You already and they took all that to me to the apartment and I spent the games that I was riding the bike when the team was playing defense and I was in on the bike TR would stop me and start to shake my head in the television boy rob guerry and I was with the lants to stake Stand there like you're batting. watching television in your circle to be clear and I think that that is what I kept ready for 14 days It is true that the pandemic turned a madness madness is a real madness, I don't literally go out I didn't go out when I was on defense I was walking With a bicycle wait for it to happen to you the first ining or in defense and you in bike on the bike and the [ __ ] pa and back and forth and line double and me and my mother and I are the three to the alcado sa three to take it out treso and you me I stopped bat and stopped to look at the noña television so that it is clear and That's how I spent the 14 days because it was in the 14 without covid and me but I am ready and The state of the major leagues told me there is a protocol that must be followed is 14 and At 14 when I left I told him manager to give me at least one week and he said to me Hey we need you to this that that I gave myself nothing more than TR days and right away it's the 20th As he says, the batting title was gone there 50 games of average truth were played 60 60 regular games in which you stay fifth to the mvp that year in the 21 stick by Here a stick over there seems to have stung him fact that was not but that was fifth 21 was second but you thought that 20 er led it I don't know what I do I was realistic I had a tremendous season what i said Wow Yes I I could have played the season since The first day I would have had better chances Okay okay Now I understand why I lasted 14 days without covid and I couldn't and I I think that year if I had been there 2020 would have been a normal year, you would have thought so. I wanted there was a good chance because I was lacquered Well on the 21st you took the thing where you left it in 20 in 21 is again the leader of obp 465 That year you you got 29 tows 95 you were second for The MVP that year was Br Harper. eh Did it hurt you I think I think I think Honestly, I'm speaking the truth. I think you want an MVP Hey, what baseball player doesn't want an MVP? No, but More than anyone else I think I've been very close is near little Cos also But you know He was a champion and I want one now gold glove more than an mvp I tell you the truth And why Because the golden glove eh I open many doors and I close them many doubts Ah yes because there are many people who say Soto is not good at defense owes the team in metric by There are many doubts about the matter So I would like to clarify those doubts. analytically according to statistics advanced I don't know if you if you take it of that but the best arm of greats leagues in the 2024 season was willier breu tatis Junior then tied with you People may not realize that you have a top elite arm of large leagues you say that your wish is that you you would like to complement everything else and answer a lot of people Exactly a lot of people think that I don't I can play defense that I have seen for 10 years that I Ha first base I not I I am r Field and I want to prove that I can play r Field because I have too been close with the golden glove I have state twice final three times finalist in my career including the last year including last year and the three times finished second O be that Those voices of that if Soto that designated first baseman who is not but That's what you hear and you take it as such conus motivation motivation because i motivates me nobody is going to take my focus you can say what you You want a microphone from me, you don't want me you're going to take the approach that I have in Play now that I can take things to motivate me to keep improving if These are things for me to continue improving, of course. I'm going to do it and I'm going to find a way to improve and how to find that way O be you have the arm since you don't They have 27 major league players and what? It's what you say in off-season, okay. I have to work the route I have to work read better hit the bat I have to work What thing eh For me you know I worked a lot last year with al Ochoa a former major league player Cuban Cuban tremendous clear arm with the licei with the lice with the lyceum eh And many things that he explained to me route addresses towards How to get the ball out How to march the ball so that it can be thrown where to throw all that you know there are things that One knows it but in the game you have to execute it and I think that the most The route to the ball was important and The first step that the Yankees took with Luis Rojas helped me a lot, he helped me a lot last year because I taught the metrics no other team had taught me the metric of Look this is what you are doing We want you to do this Ah the and it is the first time they give you exact details He told me Hear the metrics in San Diego like that They tried to take my metric But no They didn't give it to me but since I arrived Luis told me Look at things they are like this like this like this we are going to talk to you Of course you have to improve in this in this and in this and we We believe that if you do this and this and This you are going to improve and I had the year past improvement was not 100% that I gave that s but it was much better than the years previous those are the things that you Your focus is to improve it more defensive than anything else, that is You work harder to improve that part Yes yes and I want to improve that part It's good that you say that you are committed to you improving your defense because people usually understand Ah No, no, what they like is to hit, right? No. So he is acknowledging here that he hears. Well one of his wishes is not to win a more valuable than winning a glove Gold before anything else surprised That to me gold golden glove Yes It's cool to have it there at home normal How nice it looks you know that I like it eh delete myths we hear one information is repeated by other people and to everyone is true and is already true I imagine you laugh at your There is a lot of house where that comes from Wow, they're lies. Exactly, let's go. Let's see if we can eliminate two or three myths here from the mouth I have I have two three also from the mouth of the protagonist Yes we will see what he says false or true no yy but in this he can you detail can you detail if there is a topic that was touched upon at some point It is or was the famous offer that he made Washington to Soto and that Soto and his team of work headed by Scott Boras no They decided to accept the amount of first 440 is true Yes and then Tell me about that process How Juan Soto is offered a 440 million contract extension dollars and meets with his team work and it is declined I say that very easy but that's why it shouldn't be easy How It was all that eh it was a process we have already carried out a process The team and my lawyer were talking That was the third offer they told me To me, that is, they were raising it for me I imagine what was the first one? Nationals came with the offer Acuña signed, do you want Acuña's thing? Yes God no what they are talking about it is a Bad contract is fine, they sign Tati you want the thing Tati I'm asking you for Tati No I want my value what it is now You too have to analyze the team in which direction the team is going in which address you the team Ah same You know that we decline it and continue playing the team gets better best players best team don't talk With me, change everyone and there after they change everyone They come and tell me there is so much so much tell me and I am that I No, I can't tell you that I am I can go with you where you are breaking up the team where the owner is He goes because he is selling the team with Who am I left with? air I don't know what's coming and if another one is coming owner who does not want to invest and wants make the nationals a team that I know a team like any other Those who walk around there are losers loser I would not like to spend my car So the issue there was not the number. There the issue was the direction of the team and that Soto wanted to go to a team competitor Exactly I want to compete now I didn't try the World Series if they They would have made another move. destiny would have been different probably i think so i think so Yes, yes, they had signed Trade tner Rendón and I think he himself the thing even cheaper when you notice that there is a public figure that Scott Boras denies it then says or be denied that that no that does not have the interest one first offer in 13 years for 350 million dollars and then in the 2022 season it is made public that they the They offer 440, which Ricardo tells you for 15 years and in The comes out a report that says that They block you and make you an offer without escot was present the manager tells you Oh look, this is what we have and you at It seems you answered him Well I have to consult it that was the 140 millions was like that eh Yes they pulled me aside and I They asked me what I wanted and how They wanted it that how we wanted to do the things and all that And I told them that it was because of my courage that I was not going to to be left for less than my worth to speak with my lawyer and that they resolved with him They told me that that was all that they had that they were not going to offer more and I said talk to me lawyer and he and after they did that what I They said if there is not that we will change I said Well but how is that? conversation is several days or there is One day one day they pulled me into the office They talked to me Look, things are like this so so eh that's what there is And I told him talk with my lawyer no no no eh it's with you We want to talk How what do you think how you and I said well that That's it, it's with my lawyer that we have to talk about it and I'm not going to stay for less than for something that is not less than my courage and they told me okay eh if we do not reach an agreement more likely that we will change you and I'm fine, do what you have to do. do the press leaks bothered you that the press will leak Yes because I tried I wanted to keep it low profile negotiate with them but keep a low profile and They threw it out there and you but you told them at some point what you said a minute ago that Hey the direction of the team you instead of be hiring baseball players for strengthen you are leaving not that That's not my job, my work is playing ball I can't go to a team and tell them you don't have to do this movement and that movement where what I have is 21 years 22 years I don't even know how that a team is managed You know I am still learning okay but it is important because for example I don't I knew and look what you just said that probably even for less negotiation would have taken place if the team was taking another direction, which was to strengthen itself but when you see that the course of the team but look at Atlanta how it is why do you think they are staying because they know they have a tremendous team and they know that to the playoffs every year, so what? yours apart from the economic was that you guarantee that it was going to be a team that I was going to compete of course and tell me one thing Juan because David gave an interview to we that went viral you saw it interview you recognized it later in a star match if I'm not mistaken That same year, eh, and they tell you, did you see the interview and you say Yes I saw it I saw it David and the people Dominicans gave their opinion on the issue of the 440 he rejected him crazy 440 years ago in the famous country Juan Luis, the Panamanians called me Juan Luis War, what does Juan Luis tell me?

week and a half I'm here and I'm here, yes, we're all here We are also going to work and we are going to work and there everyone gave me a Very cool welcome who gets you into the group no no those are those are the the Travel secret people So a WhatsApp group like what we have is an application where they send you where you are They send everything and the team but I am They threw all those boys privately I was not thrown by all those people in the group tigers threw me privately they called me and They told me Hey, come here Aaron Josh The best, my respect 100% as a person also in all the areas that you You can have it Yes the best for something The captain what does aron george do a humble guy cares about the other eh Por is captain Aon George and captain It's just that the way it is handled you know how having so many horses and tigers that have had a year that I saw in the league and he being the captain that tells you many things because the way it is handled as he deals with the bloos the guy has six six and everyone around them makes it feel like they do too they are 6 are 67 we are all one all we are equal, the thing is like this, like this, like this that everything moves or that is not only as a baseball player is the ability that he has to make you feel comfortable join exactly and it is also or that is to say there was a good atmosphere And yes, yes, it was really cool, there was no mistake there. between players, coaches and everyone There was no fault there, the difference but the difference from playing elsewhere and play in New York because we We have interviewed other baseball players who They say Don't wait there are some who say even when they play that kind of team they say there is that you get to the Major League I don't know if this is your case because you played in San Diego and San Diego competed and San Diego is in California is a big state. good city but the truth is that it is feel the difference when you play in New York I say San Diego is the best city the city to play Baseball is a good team that competes like San Diego That's the best city It has a beach, it has restaurants, it has Everything you need is there Mexico there you can go to Mexico and go back right there, it has everything There is everything right next door, but New York is another gay too eh another another atmosphere more because I am Dominican you know Maybe an Asian doesn't feel that way. in San Diego in Los Angels but a Dominican feels that way Here in New York, that is, the vibe the atmosphere that Dominicans make you in New York is another Flow and the fans and how things move and how it is Life in New York makes you reminds a lot of the Dominican Republic and I think that is one of the things What motivates you and gives you that little thing to play New York because they also fans know baseball in New York York No it's not like anywhere else that you You're going 10 out of 10 Oh yes it's okay they boo is because the fans know because the fans are into it I play 100% there are fans at Ray Yo I'm at the r Field and they say Hey put it in so-and-so and go to so-and-so so-and-so and you You're left thinking about what they are doing. saying and it is a reality and you say Wow you hear it and you say Wow there There was a fanatic who Ah what Cabrera this that so and so put it here that they put so-and-so there and me and you You were thinking and said Wow the guy he's right he has a point he has one point You know we had another point that we had more players but the guy has a point a fanatic yelling at you the clear blit telling you the pod How is it that it has to be done You know it's not always like that because there is a metric A thing a statistic that that do not fail that do not lie but in New York knows They know about baseball They don't even go there when they see him and that's it many tourists But there are many people who You're going to watch the games and you know what's going on. passing by we saw you very involved with the New York public York you came out and played like a glove to the fil Obviously that was reciprocal you Did you understand that dynamic of the Yanis or You enjoyed it at the moment And that It came naturally to you, you don't know that, I It came naturally because of the love and support that that they gave me since I arrived They say the same I learned that after We won the world championship in Washington That hey, a greeting is enough for them. because that is one but that is one way I thank them and tell them Thank you Thank you for the support Thank you for come here enjoy the show that's one Of things that is what I think That's why every time I go out to playing field and I salute that fans telling him thank you for come thanks for coming to enjoy what we do and now enjoy the show that's what i I think in my mind this thing of yours thanks thanks look that they have a custom of that They are shouting about RFI Ah without position by position the brit monster that is called Yes There the Tigers of the bugs start position by position each one first base has to be turned over and greet him no And give him a sign now They have to have a sign in specific Ah yes I told him it was Love That is the sign of love in the language of language and I love thank you I didn't know that That is the sign of love, the language of Yes so Aaron George was the Opa Opa Verdugo was said to bark like the dogs eh volpi was to give a kiss to the jacket Yanis Cabrera threw a bomb at him, eh? curl eh curl was No sorry curl was a kiss italian italian vain Ben Ray was with rice eating rice as But that It was things that you yourselves They invented exactly and in order to give it the honey aro they are intense I I like you I say they are intense because they know what What's going on in the game They are pending on the game the level of approaches That is, it was greater than what you say. Well, I I am here before the eyes of the world this It's New York and I have to give it 50% all me I played hard always me He always played hard that he said approach that the pressure I think that No, I don't know if it was because of the group that we had the group that we We had it in there and thank God I did well you know I don't know what it would be like if you are doing badly One never knows anything else I had a year there but the focus was the same We had a goal from print trainer who was to reach the series world and win the world series And that It was Every day we came with the same world series win the series world in the meeting in all the sides it was world series win win win and but there was no pressure Why Because no longer what the fans were We were already waiting for it, we already had it we had mentally worked there inside already us We are ready for what we came for make it true that you distract the city You have your approach since you signed. You said it there are distractions of course medium but playing in Washington is not the best Same as playing New York obviously Logically it is true because we have a case of people who can distract the city I I went ahead of him How so I moved over there to Westchester far away 40 minutes so you don't get distracted when I The tigers called me, I told them 40 minutes I'm not going I'm sorry for you because I am in a focus I have a I want something and more in the mindset year that I am a year that I go there free agency I mean I'm focused on myself I want to win a championship with those Yanis was the first thing and the second was to try to put good numbers to be able to go Li agency or there was a cor one night of X not a stew let's go let's go for a disco one day because you can go to the discotheque Go for Go for daim I was saying you were calculating send me the address to see 40 I said it is not there crazy 40 but it's the problem If you live close they tell you we give for you Although you you say no and then you say wow 10 minutes Cross let me cross to say hello to you It's 4 or 3 in the morning and there you have it. you were but that is also the focus that you have because you also have to know what is with you You You have to know when Yes and when No also but it is not wait Ju esp It is not easy but easy approach You know that it is what it is you have you have eh one family to support And you have to think about it eh That's why you every step that you are going to give T you have to think in your people because you know that if you do, You're going 0-for-4 But they're leaving 4-0 also those who are in your house you were nothing more than you every time you you fail them because they are waiting for you your children family everyone mom your dad of course Yes, but listen to me about the approach that you you have been clear for a long time it is light and easy for a person who has a certain age that achieves a degree of maturity But It is normal that the degree of focus of a person is not that age you know What I mean is a person from 20 21 22 you are already 26 you are old already as we were saying that 19 20 is that has too much above already has many years in the big league I Fly from all in the pool wait Where Still where do I go to see if you you understand the level of focus of a It is not normal for a person of that age to that you you have it may be because there are many also that has a focus nothing more than me that I have arrived not up to here but with you I am talking and with you I have the athlete next to my amera who signed the largest contract in history for What I'm telling you is easy to say. But in what you say I am not going to another day I won't go or that level of approach is not easy to process that is One of the things that, as I told you, I start something that you have what sacrifice That is part of sacrifice yes You want to get up there there are things that you have to sacrifice It's not that you don't have fun is not that you enjoy yourself But There are times when you do have to cut it. people found it strange including me an image of you on the networks in the off season you in a disco and me Oh I find it strange because I never It happens or they never see you, you were in a nightclub in Santo Domingo celebrating the contract was later the contract after contract because a song was playing Soto Yes yes yes which talks about the previous team and Juan the He says, "Ah no, well, what you are is not" because it was viral he said he couldn't He said no because he mentioned the yanis Ah okay Okay yes but you have to enjoy but you have to wait until the end my coach my coach always He told us when you They come here for the Republic Dominican I can't deny you That you enjoy and that you go out and that enjoy now it's at 6 o'clock tomorrow the next day training you are the one who knows that day Yes we did not go to train another day because That day we got up early and went to the party and we are already back from We are celebrating a goal you know But he He always tells us you want to go out Leave now, it's 6:10 on the other day. day there and you don't I mean it's okay you're me liked it I mean you told him that day I'm going to celebrate not that day he was with me was there was your brother was there but he is not fuendetodos one and we trained we ran we did another physics now go to sleep Ah well you you respect the guy, I respect him, not what he is that my coach is respected No, and that's why you've had the success that you have. You know that because he tells you so. I can't train you and then you Demand results from me if you don't come but I can't restrict you either. have fun because you lasted no months over there to the United States you You have to have fun now I'm not missing it the practice that that is a thing like that people for example What does Juan like Soto people believe like you don't let yourself see a lot and you have a very circle closed and you handle yourself in a way that Soto only likes to hit But what does Juan Soto like? Soos likes him likes to dance likes music likes cooking What does Juan Soto do when we We got together and played piles of dominoes Tigers when we get together there are pairs We have a cheater out there your uncle cheater the one who is the first is elch that there is a tiger over there that when we play the same chaplain we give it to him we give it to him hard we give it to him hard The tigers eh but not grent Sure but we get together all the time We play and cook it We eat a lot chelcha and vaina like that sometimes one gives an outing sometimes beach mostly to me When I go out with my family I like to go out, I said that I want to Get to know the Dominican Republic So I'm slowly you know I do my tour I go to the rivers I go to what chair where samaná puntacana port Silver Monte crti makes baron Exactly that It's what I do and with my family those These are the things I like to do that I told Tati but Tati invited me and I tell him Tati No because Tati gets involved on a mountain Tati I am in a process not because Tati tore me off the peak no but I told him to go for the peak but I told him [ __ ] Tati if I A call comes in and I'm at the peak there above F said that in the tell me hello and the man say no sign because it was in the peak wait give me give me an inviting me He calls me Hey and sends me a photo Look where I'm venturing out but attention Ministry of tourism attention Tati and Soto doing Domestic tourism in the Dominican Republic stops here over there over here Look at a good idea good promotion there a good idea can be function only only only and now has a very hard photo and that Tatiana with with a work team By the way you have a tough photographer Yes there is me perig Luigi don't give me a picarte grab pic But if you tell him, let's go, what is he going to do?

I say it is part of part of what you You want And you know who you are have As they say, you have to feel proud of that because if they walk you looking to see if they are calling you for talk about the same thing about the same thing same for a reason for something is so yes how tiring that always that but you You feel proud of that because you see that all the work you have done in All these years it is working but Tell me one thing, let's explain it more. detailed as possible because I don't know what It is a process like that that ends season starts everyone talking They interview you after the game and you You say I am available for the TR Major League teams And from now on there start blah blah blah blah blah you you had to [ __ ] to Los Angeles meet you went viral a photo that I don't know Who threw it, I don't know if you know it anymore. You're sitting seriously with Scott next to you and hearing that it is not known who they were That process was lawyers, those who are there in the photo okay Ah you saw the photo naturally How was that process and When the meetings come you came back for Dominican you left again outside How was the matter I went to Dominican like three times and I came back for Back now there is one that pissed in customs has to go through there because you have you have come in and you have come out too much that has Coming a lot yes it is too much there is that You have to check eh but the process was As I tell you, it was an agency process. free I had never been through that is a little different you have a number of teams that call you a list of teams is neither one nor two it is a list of teams that call you and tell you that They want you to be part of it and you go Breaking down Who does want and who does no okay Because there are many who tell you Yes we want But you participate in that call or just scot that the team Okay there are some who do want to But no they reach the budget Okay then We go to the field, they eliminate and that's it a group of teams that there yes already We start the meetings, you go and you meetings with the team with the owners manager to talk to you about the team and you You can learn from the team What they have What can they offer you? And What do they have for the future? They are 15 years then they have to explain everything to you that's how things are You get together with the whole team after they get together with the team already there eh the lawyers and I got together We do a breakdown again We put people in each row in each place as it is going to be and so you go eliminating and you are putting V eliminating V eliminating until number one arrives even if not Say name, how many teams you were with the final cut so to speak way How many er that was public it I can say But how come they didn't complain As a priority, the report went from that well publicly the leader of Toronto said you asked when the roof opened and when it didn't He said his little mouth was eating so clear I asked him everything there is to ask him about everything, for example, that is They were bidding and they stayed Among the finalists, of course, five Which teams were in the final? were the two Toronto Boston Met Yankee doer Toronto Boston mat yanke OK Why The Mets at the end eh all the facilities they gave me you know tremendous contract but there were many things that they put around contract that that Yes, if you can help me, family and the contract is 15 years you know the Farm System that they have as How they look like Here in 15 years we will have all that. We analyzed Let's see what it was that he had better status to be able to continue moving forward So apart from money We're back again, it has a lot to do with it The issue of treatment and facilities Juan Soto and what they give him family Okay e but I want I want answer more still not you want that they take you to the meeting coco no no no no no no false true or now Oh And that And That's what he put in. Come on, I'm going to tell you .... to speak lies It is true that he had a Problem eh your family with security of the Yankees and that's why he didn't sign false true false eh that he asked for one fake luxury suite didn't leave you finish explain false det that he I asked eh that the yanis approached a point and that's all the difference Fu 40 millon fake thing more came out many came out things and your face when you give him everything What can I say to you? Think about what you say. You say in the end We take a decision and we know why we made it You know that I cannot make the decision. ask that question because they were rumors that you I already imagine that you had read Of course there are many rumors there outside but what what happened all the The world knows what happened inside and the analysis we did and how we did it How much did you get involved I ask you? because we have been told different things baseball players that they let them agents are the ones who roll and then Give me the latest offer and I'll tell you yes or not How much did Juan get involved in detail of the signing bonus of which a money that is deferred, that is a bond for a star game all those I had little details in everything in all the details all the details all those perks everything everything that sorry everything that the contract had I was there, watching over him and present for him. My lawyer told me, look, they have this. they have that they put this they put This is what they put this so and so put this so-and-so removed this so-and-so everything everything And what There is a detail of the presence of exact amount of star game turn if I won an mvp yes of everything everything What if I won a golden glove? Because it was also a decision, you know. collective we check because at least were the ones who offered the most money how that the least were the most They offered There was no team that They offered more than loom but we analyzed the environment the things How was it that in where I could fit in best During the 15 years and that's how it was, that is, they put everything on the table because we're back again The point is that not everything is money, I think. that this interview made it clear that Juan Soto's decisions do not have to do purely with the economic part what does it have to do with facilities It seems to me that you never You had said that there are teams or There was a team that offered more than you can I'm not going to say which team offered more. Look for that team problem but but One thing is that 15 years was the limit or There was someone who offered 16 yes there was a ofo 16 team but eh the offer that I took was not the right one highest offer was given an extra of that you have an exit yes that they do They can perfectly match and there the contract involves more than 800 million dollars you also got involved in that little detail No, that detail is already there I left the lawyer how hard Scott boras because Hey I see that Scott boras Everyone we have interviewed who is His client, the guy is James Bond. better That is how hard you are that have There he pointed out how hard Boras is but Forget about the issue of what gets you the money that is important as a person how hard you blackberries eh it's very good but You know he tells you things Of course it is one of the things that I learned and I have seen During the years He tells you things as they are How They can happen if it goes one way and if you are in another position What would be the best ones? situations for you and the money he gives you He says let me fight it, that's my work but you always go informing where they are going if you arrive a point that you say do not fight there anymore He does what you say, of course he does Whatever you say, he tries his best. But if you said quate a point he does what you say because it seems that in the process you understood each other very well very clear because I think there was a point Since it was time, let's go to the agency free Of course I see a lot of people, right? will firm attention not your point and the from him click that it is for the agency free that we are going for a time for sure where what is in style are the contract extensions Yes you know but When you are jumping from team to team team is difficult You make a decision playing only one year on a team then you have to learn and see How is the team managed all the time? team situations to see how how you you asked to fall how it you celebrated that night when you told yourself Yes to Team we are there in a pool Ah what It went viral, of course we are in the pool celebrating my mom my brother the Lawyer, we are there enjoying the we had a good time You know Sorry we were there until like 2 o'clock the morning celebrating But what weather It lasted between your yes and it being made public eh As I said yes like that of the 4 pm 5 pm and came out like at 8 pm Exactly Yes because They have to finish it off. process how you said yes to the team That is, how is it?

You want me on the 22nd, for sure you are the one 22 the day of the signing what number I had the 22 I had never spoken to Blackberry came out, you tell me okay And it is a form is actually a form of the baseball players thank you for why you use the 22nd for something specific That was the number they gave me going up to large league and the number that I have always used and the number that I would like to have for My challenge is that you stayed with that one, that's the one that goes For Cooperstown Eme I am not missing a by of things Wait Wait Wait because This is not seen all the time, it is necessary take advantage of it, that is, you have to have it if we have this opportunity Mania an interview with us I have Two I have two type quotes that are They interviewed us Mania Acta He says he knows where you are coming from, she says he is laughing that the best hitter Dominican is Fernando Tati Sorry is Juan Soto best baseball player Fernando Tati You gave him an interview or you gave a Press conference at Yan Stadium where they told you you saw this and you you said yes i saw it you saw it in the interview the interview the piece What do you think of what he said? Mania I said what he is 100% correct there is no mistake Fernando the most Complete Fernando is the best baseball player of the big ones league Why without a doubt what does not do Fernando because you can have baseball players who make every effort does everything elite Def defend platinum glove gives you 40 Jones in San Diego that I told him When I went there and I told him: Hey, you gave 40 home runs here you are a hero because This is Play it's uncomfortable to hit home runs it's nice and everything and it's big to hit but to give a rum is not you easily bat 300 you run you know how to play the ball knows how to move what else do you need? bracelet an arm machete that has what else you you want what else because Okay there is a ball who has a machete but is aaj a chim no no the D Plus Plus Plus when you do the meting they say Don't try just because They try to do something to you First we talk about That's an external base, no, don't invent with that man who is not so much of an athlete as Elor changes it for ri and platinum glove and wins the platinum glove not gold Oh, I hope I don't forget this. This is it. important care no no No man no no but I can't if the interview is It ends and I don't touch this subject, be careful We don't throw it away, be careful with two things. you played classic your experience of atmosphere of playing with the shirt flag on the chest first and then the classic right now on the 26th What is the Soto's mentality for the 26th we start by the 23 TR and What Juan Soto felt in Miami with that atmosphere I turn to the wall and that falling from Dominican is a Flow the doms that the doms don't do feel wherever eh It's that where Let's get there. I think that's it. It was a unparalleled experience That's why always I keep the classic world series winter ball are experiences that cannot be compared because they are different they are in different environments but they are the best of the best in his in his area and I think that the classic was unmatched you know a play Full of Dominicans that you give a Rolling And that wants to fall that was it amazing I think that one of the most beautiful experiences that I have I had it and thank God it went well for me because you know that there is that well the first one that the sun eats you also clear clear of baseball yes against Puerto Rico and Nicaragua all team you know was more cut from what I thought because I believe that we had the Talent not to pass to another round to win the tournament but Yes, sorry, we got along tremendously experience they have just announced as leader of the 2026 team eh What opinion you deserve to be able to play for Alberto because I'm not going to ask if you you go that you go to the classic like you You know the country is going to ask you for it like this you know I don't know now well because I no I don't know fuck we are recording this in March the classic one year the 26th dime of the classic of 26 first the 26 Albert Pujol is the new manager and I'm happy about that. I know he will do a good job for the the figure that is not only because I don't think that be only for what he knows about de de de baseball or handlebar or anything I think that for the figure that to be able to control a Club House like the one in Dominican which is a Club House that has a lot of talent a lot of talent and a lot hungry to play But we know that we don't We can all play, you understand me. A lot of talent, a lot of hunger and a lot of ego You said that, yes, but it's true it Normally I say that we all want play and we all want to play but There are only nine playing, you know. Of course, sometimes it becomes uncomfortable that a baseball player who is a Super Star in his team in the United States you Sitting on a bench in a world classic where He wants to represent his country. understand So I think Pujol is going to be the right person to be able to handle all those egos as you say Now we both said it like you You say people don't have a clear team People have the equipment but not the money He has it clear so as not to get into the infil Julio Tati has the alil and Soto 100% you would like to play with him again Tati who of course Tati the end Tati Tati I'm going ahead, I have to get there first It will be for a ball serve p double home already Walking for J chil is more comfortable Of course Tati on horseback wherever you are I'm going to put him on horseback and if Tati fails comes blad There goes vady recognized And if Vlady fails Devil comes And if Devil fails Machado comes mt José Ramírez there and if Machado fault comes Jose comes Quetel Who else do you want from the cross? topic that we have as a position In the infil we have three, do not put it choose don't put it choose no no no no I What I want is the manager who is going to choose pujol clear now you what you are going to do to choose is to play in the 26 if they give me the chance and I am healthy God willing I will be there Even banking I have nothing to do with it take your stool yes Look you V played the first day for the second How talkative I don't know So Juan so beat that heavy because it's there right there What is the matter if I am in the classic God forbid God save me I I arrive at the world classic and I in the diit that we have there I don't feel of the all good bat I'm very Rover a lot punch a lot of stuff You think that I I'm going here now because you say No to me wait Juan that So-and-so is coming, so-and-so is coming. pull What do I know about pitching and what is it? uncomfortable we are going to put teocal we are going to put any other outfield that does very well against That Pich, you think I'm going to feel Bad because what I want is to win Of course I'm going to feel good. Come on. over there humbly by horse Dale break it's not going to make you angry it breaks clearly Now of course you come and talk with me he says Hey So so so fire him We give because I can't be selfish yes really really really I I want to win, I can't be selfish if I want to win now if I am what I want them to take a photo of me and give me a board and that uh the two is already different How is it? so the two is clear no, yes for that You are going to play golf, which is an individual sport but Oy Oy the the point It's not that they're going to take pictures of you and that the team wins Of course it wins with the flag Of course he wins if he is a movement that you say in your mind Okay it's true that movement is going to work and if it didn't work well everyone We had in mind that it was going to work already In the classic this fulfilled A dream of play with Robinson Cano Hey, I think my dream has come true. represent the Dominican Republic First of all Robinson won is one of my Favorite baseball players since I was a kid Yes, for me a mentor because he has helped me helped a lot talked to me talked with me even in this agency process free he went through his process he was With the organization he knows how to do everything It moves and I am very grateful because He was always there, he always called me. Every now and then we talk about something else I peed that was coming around Dubai where he was And from true I appreciate what he has done made by me Hear me vady vady also said in the interview two things one that you have a gift for recognize the pitches he says, listen to me There are times when he arrives first and I see that the difference in the TR area was so blad you are pana Yes and it seems that They call well He spoke wonders that day It's my thing too, it's what I take with me good with the boys and you know more about that of that group of that litter that We all come 2015 2016 2014 is Boys, we lick each other very well, right? the same generation Tati as they call it the Junior or said something important that you you opened the way for him you opened the way for him heavy process now Ah with the signature gave He says that his fear was raised I was happy I was happy that was a week after he signed yes he was Happy he said he gained the pound If the pound of gold was 10 now it is 15 They spoke to you afterwards, eh We talked Before before yes And he me He congratulated and everything but you know he was Very happy for what I did you know and i know that doing this not only to him but to Many people opened the door and the way was opened for him eh In order to be able to continue doing and putting your hand in you know why that is the plan in the end what we want is that doors open that trust in the Latin baseball player who is not afraid of do what they did to me with any other baseball player because we are going to measure up to free agency You say that El Vad mentioned something for finally of me part and another baseball player mentioned it I think who was Vladimir I don't remember the father of you and the knowledge of the area strike per everyone knows the high vp He gets pitched a lot, that's why he's worth it now money but vady says it is so that you You see the pitching. So you know with This margin, how is that, how is that worked? It was a natural gift that God gave you. a combination of the two I say that a combination of the two because I I worked but I got it right fast, that is, I started to [ __ ] base by ball I was in the Minor League in the 2016 I played stander Spring And that was before of the season in stander Spring I I caught 105 plate appearance I caught one only 105 base on balls caught me Joni from Puglia who was the esc that I signed that he was the director of the nationals and he told me Hey I know that you You want to hit but I think that for you To become a better hitter you need [ __ ] more base on balls and that will get you help you I remember I eat and that I caught in the dogado of the Play of hton When they were in Kisimi he already told me Yo I think you should do this and this and This is because it will help you to continue forward will be your best cocks will create better contacts And I started from there on we We started working in the traffic area and Little by little we were developing developing to the point that after That year all the years every year of the 16 17 18 and I think I think on the 19th I took more walks than ponch that was after pulia told you Look look at this you have to yes and the game has now become a has a trend that the base on ball is a very important element because elps has returned and the PS that starts from the key of All clear clear eh that many people who Come and talk about it on the networks that you don't because there will be no more chances ball Oh but you want me to give it to him like that You stay when you are the ones who are the networks They say everything, I say yes to everything yes it's true you're right you're right All you say is that Yes happy now you have a first base that when you have caught a ball you said to yourself Hey but boy but There is someone that you know all the time Those tigers tell me that Wow what a turn Look, I remember when I throw, I throw was playing that I caught a pair of B's ​​per ball and That horse was telling me I said Look what you think about left-handed people, I think so.
