Washington Nationals’ skipper Davey Martinez talked this Spring about one request he had for Juan Soto, which he hoped would avoid any unnecessary drama between the Nationals’ 20-year-old outfielder and opposing pitchers.
He wanted Soto to tone down the between-pitches shuffle and adjustment he does to reset himself in the batter’s box.
“That’s something that was created by a lot of different people, but that’s his way to get into the next pitch and keeping him engaged,” Martinez explained.
“That’s all he does. I think he’s going to be fine, I really do,” the second-year skipper added.
