Abraham Toro says he is happy at the idea of joining the Milwaukee Brewers, he who, remember, was traded from the Mariners to the Brewers last Friday.
That’s what the Quebec player told the blog’s friend Benoît Rioux of the Journal de Montréalduring an interview at the always welcoming premises of Grand Slam, the batting bullpen.
There are always two ways for an athlete to view a rally. Either that demotivates him and he broods over his unhappiness at the idea of losing what he had. Or he sees it as a fresh start, an opportunity to begin a new chapter in the book of his career. It’s exactly like the second statement that Toro sees things!
A new league
For the first time in his career, the 25-year-old therefore finds himself evolving for a formation of the National League. Both the Houston Astros and the Seattle Mariners play in the American League and both clubs are in the same division, to boot.
This will be an opportunity for the infielder to seize. As much as he hardly knows the pitchers of the National, it’s the same thing for the latter who do not really know the ambidextrous hitter. It’s up to Toro to work hard during the off-season, which is still young, to slowly get to know the tendencies of the pitchers he will have to face in the next campaign.
To give everything
At the time of starting his career, there was a big buzz towards the Quebecer. All those who gravitate in the world of baseball recognized his talent and his immense potential. However, we remember, he was stuck behind Jose Altuve and Carlos Correa, in particular, in an Astros lineup that was packed with elite players. It was with a good eye that the transaction sending him to Washington State had been welcomed by just about everyone, with the intention of seeing him finally have the chance to demonstrate the full range of his talent. . Like a flower in spring, he would finally have the opportunity to bloom in broad daylight.
On the other hand, the stay of our sympathetic local athlete did not go as we could collectively think. The proof, he did not play any of his team’s five playoff games last October.
In this sense, the main interested party of this text was expecting a bit of an exchange and he was in no way surprised when the news was announced. He is happy for the opportunity to prove to his new bosses that they were right to trust him. To do this, he will first have to improve his batting average in 2023, he who has only hit for a low percentage of success of .185.
Abraham Toro is really a good human being, always generous with his time. He really deserves to have all the success in the world at this stage of his career. So let’s all hope together that the newest member of the Brewers has a season filled with individual and collective accomplishment, because he sincerely deserves it.
