Hey Jose will be a MLB player, and a great one. He has his parents heart… The heart of a champion. I know it.
jose has all the tools to become a major league star pitcher, has heart, intelligence and a lot of discipline
Jose is going to keep improving his game until he makes it to the big league. He is very determined and discipline.I see him with a bright future. It was a delight to see him play little league just imagine seeing him in the Majors. God bless him and his beautiful family!
Can’t even start to tell you how many college I called to tried to get him a schorlarship down in Florida, Georgia and Texas. All of you might remember how many times I called. But now I guess how many of them have wish to have call back. That’s Karma!!!
Jose is a stud, he’s study hitter and knows a bit about that because not to long ago he was my clean up hitter in my team in Isabela, PR so he knows a lot of what they trying to do. When we practice he was the first one there and the last one to leave…. Always but I mean always wants the ball in the toughest situations, like the others have said his heart is scary good. I have no doubt like I did back three years ago that Jose will be a star in the near future…
