C. Trent Rosecrans of The Athletic spoke with Joey Votto once again before the season, in what seems to be one of the best things that happens every year. There is a lot of good stuff in the interview from the Cincinnati Reds first baseman, so you should be sure to go read the entire thing. The one thing that jumped out just a little more than the rest of it was how Votto responded to the question of “Can you still be that hitter at age 36 (referring to his past)?”
Well, I can’t be half of it, which is more or less what I was last year.
