Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager in the fifth inning of a baseball game Tuesday, Aug. 23, 2022, in Denver.ARLINGTON – When the Rangers built Globe Life Field, they adorned the home clubhouse with opulence. The lockers have secret compartments inside secret compartments. The water therapy room is spa worthy. The kitchen belongs in a resort.Someday, he might even see it all, too.
“It’s unmatched,” Rangers hitting instructor Tim Hyers said of Seager’s pregame prep, which often extends to work between at-bats, too. “His dedication to get that to where it needs to be every day is impressive. He’s got passion to prepare, passion to be ready, passion to contribute. Great hitters know the feeling, and they spent their whole day trying to recapture it.”In Los Angeles, Seager was part of a whole group of players who had very detailed individual work routines.
“Short answer: No,” Rangers GM Chris Young said. “We recognize every player has a unique way of preparing and balancing the needs of the team with their respective game prep.” “We haven’t won as much as we’d like,” he added. “I think [questions] come with the territory where we are at. People start looking at other things to try to understand what’s going on. I think we trust each other to be ready at 7. It’s a hard process to overcome and a lot of it is trust-based, but we’ve had a lot of conversations and laid the groundwork of where we want to go.”
