Last month, I had the opportunity to speak with Roman Anthony in the WooSox clubhouse. He was impressive on many fronts: Physically, emotionally, intellectually, and even his ability to communicate insights on a variety of topics across the game.
One of the most interesting moments of the conversation came when I asked him about the upcoming MLB playoffs. With the season being such a long grind, it’s usually a topic that doesn’t go very far given the circumstances. Guys are tired, generally beaten down, looking to reset mentally, and will often want to get ready for next year once their season is over.
