A Day on the Mound: Roansy Contreras Chats with Sandy Alcántara
Roansy Contreras: Hey Sandy, you’ve been lighting it up with the Marlins lately. How do you manage to stay so consistent?
Sandy Alcántara: Thanks, Roansy! Consistency comes down to routines and always staying focused on the little things. What about you? You’re getting a lot of attention this season with the Pirates.
Roansy Contreras: Yeah, it’s been a wild ride! I’m just trying to balance my pitches and keep hitters guessing. What’s your go-to pitch when you need that crucial out?
Sandy Alcántara: For me, it’s the changeup. It’s been a game-changer. I noticed your fastball has some serious velocity. How do you stay in control?
Roansy Contreras: It’s all about the grip and focusing on my release point. Sometimes I feel like I’m throwing a dart instead of a baseball. Any advice for a young pitcher trying to make a name in the big leagues?
Sandy Alcántara: Don’t get too high or too low. Baseball is a game of ups and downs. Your mindset and how you handle setbacks make a huge difference. Plus, always look to learn from every outing, good or bad.
Roansy Contreras: That’s some solid wisdom there. By the way, what do you do off the field to unwind?
Sandy Alcántara: I love spending time with family and hitting the beach. You need that downtime to recharge. What about you, Roansy?
Roansy Contreras: I’m all about music and chilling with friends. Keeps me grounded. So, any pre-game rituals you swear by?
Sandy Alcántara: Oh, I’m superstitious! I always have to eat the same meal and play some salsa music to get in the zone. What’s your pre-game vibe?
Roansy Contreras: Definitely some hip-hop and a good stretch. Keeps me loose and ready to go. Thanks for the chat, Sandy! Learned a lot today.
Sandy Alcántara: Anytime, Roansy. Keep dominating out there!
Roansy Contreras: You too, Sandy. Catch you on the flip side!
