Some words describe themselves. For example, "short" is a short word. Let's call such words self-descriptive.
Some words don't. For example, "long" is not a long word. Let's call such words non-self-descriptive.
Is non-self-descriptive a self-descriptive word?
I had a fucking 8 year streak of losing, disappointment, death around me, depression, feeling like i had no purpose.
Yet something always told me To
Keep pushing.
Something told me to never give up.
Yes I have “made it” but that didnt come without sacrifice, losses, pain, heartbreak, etc etc.
Dont know who tf you all think I am but I am more like you than you know.
I didnt get put on by anyone here.
I had no computer science degree, no coding background, no artistic skills, no NOTHING pertaining to
This space
I knew ZERO people here and started from ZERO.
I was player number 1000000/1000000 and made a way for myself.
I bet on my personality and work ethic and got here.
And I STILL failed many times here till I made something of myself.
YOU CAN FUCKING WIN TOO.
START BELIEVING IN YOURSELF, ADAPT WHEN THINGS CHANGE, AND DONT FUCKING QUIT.
You might not see it, but others believe in you. They’re watching. They’re rooting. Don’t fail them.
Winners show the world what’s possible and give others permission to chase more.
Learned so much here at Chase Field.
Big thanks to all the scouts and advisors who took the time to talk with me.
There’s nothing like the Draft Combine in Japan — always impressed by how the MLB and American system develop young talents.
Don't be a prisoner of your past. It was a lesson, not a life sentence. No one failure is fatal. The rearview is always smaller than the windshield for a reason. Your best days are not behind you, they are yet to come.

@BUncommitted
Being a catcher in pro ball where they play almost every single day for 5-6mo straight is incredibly taxing on the body which is why they’re not typically expected to hit.
This is fucking insanity.
