Via Andrew Marchand, Mariano Rivera praised just about everything you could possibly praise about the soon to be 20-year-old Manny Banuelos. “I like everything about him,” said Rivera. “The makeup and how he keeps his composure. I notice situations and how you react in situations. Where you make your pitches in tough situations, where you spot your pitches, he has the ability to do that.” Considering the source, this put a smile on my face. “If [Mariano] says that, maybe it is real,” responded Banuelos, who will celebrate his birthday on Sunday.
“Stay humble, stay within yourself, God will take care of the rest,” said Rivera when asked about what he’s told Banuelos. “You don’t try to put that junk in your mind because that will hurt you.” Amen brother.
