There’s always a certain amount of excitement and hype around a prospect’s MLB debut. It’s an undeniably exciting moment for the player and it’s often accompanied by genuinely heartfelt videos from the team’s public relations department of the player receiving the news along with in-game interviews of their family. I’ll admit that I’m a complete sucker for these kinds of videos and news pieces even if I’ve seen ones like it a dozen or more times. I think it speaks to a level of sentimentality I have for all the usual values that baseball espouses: belief in oneself, continuous improvement, and perseverance in the face of failure.
