"“He's a great player, but must be included/understood he himself, has the abilities and it has demonstrated it, it needs to have confidence, sometimes wants sobreactuar", it adds. This boy is a great pelotero and good person, always has her mentality in the game and knows the things that she has to make to help the Yankees, counts on magnificent philosophy for the game.'
