White Sox slugger Yermin Mercedes has changed his mentality entering 2022, putting the team and winning first.
Mercedes’ meteoric rise to stardom skyrocketed him to such lofty heights, he had a Chicago hamburger named after him by the third week in April.
“Last year, everything was coming fast for me. All the people were coming to me. The fans, everything is coming to me. A lot of things to do. Make the fans happy, the team happy, everybody happy,” Mercedes said. “It was too much. The first time in the major leagues, it was too much for the rookie guys, so you need to be prepared for that and everything that’s coming to you. That’s the reason that that happened. But this year, I’m a new guy. I know what’s coming and what I need to do.
“At that moment, I didn’t look at the signs,” Mercedes explained. “ may have been mad because he was thinking like he gave me the sign . I understand that, because of the score. But at that moment, I wasn’t thinking the score. I was just thinking make my base hit or get on base. I know his part. He may be angry, he may be mad. I know that. I’m good with that.”“If Tony puts my sign to swing, I’m swinging. If he decides to have me take, I need to take it.
Concerned family members reached out. So did Albert Pujols, Pedro Martinez and Carlos Gomez who all urged Mercedes to change his mind.
