Inside the Dugout: Gabriel Moreno Chats with Former Teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Gabriel Moreno: Hey Vlad, it’s been a minute! How’s it going?
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Gabe! Good to see you, man. I’m doing great. How’s the big leagues treating you?
Gabriel Moreno: It’s been a wild ride! The pace and intensity are something else. How about you? Looks like you’re smashing it out there.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Yeah, you know, just trying to stay consistent. It’s a grind, but I love it. Speaking of smashing, I saw that rocket you hit last week. What was going through your mind?
Gabriel Moreno: Honestly? Pure adrenaline. I saw the pitch, and it just clicked. It felt great, but I’m still soaking up everything I can to get better every game.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: That’s the spirit. Learning never stops, no matter how good you get. What’s the biggest lesson you’ve learned so far?
Gabriel Moreno: Patience, for sure. Both at the plate and behind it. You have to be smart and strategic. It’s not always about power, you know? Speaking of which, how do you balance being such a powerhouse with staying patient?
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: It’s tricky! You’ve got to know when to swing for the fences and when to just get on base. Surrounding yourself with good advisors and teammates helps a lot. Who’s been your go-to mentor?
Gabriel Moreno: Definitely our hitting coach. He’s been guiding me on perfecting my stance and timing. Also, watching you and learning from your approach has been huge, bro.
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Appreciate that, Gabe. Just keep putting in the work and stay passionate. Before you know it, you’ll be the one younger guys are looking up to.
Gabriel Moreno: Thanks, Vlad. I’ll take your advice to heart. Here’s to making more memories and crushing more homers!
Vladimir Guerrero Jr.: Cheers to that, brother. Let’s get out there and show them what we got!
