Bad Quote by Juan Soto
“I was in Low A. It was a really bad day. It was raining and everything. All the mud was getting in the way. I just tried to clean it up and put my feet in the dirt and that's when I started shuffling. Every pitch I took I just tried to clean it off, and pitchers started taking it personally.”
