\u201cThat was the message to the whole team from day one. All teams are the same, no matter who is in front of us or who we are playing against; the important thing is to play our game\u201d, expressed Machado.<\/p>Manny Machado, Captain of the Dominican Republic National Team<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe star third baseman emphasized that, in addition to individual talent, emotional intelligence and the connection between the players have been fundamental to maintaining unity in the team.\n\nMachado also praised the participation of young prospects like Junior Caminero, who has had a notable performance in the tournament. He considers Caminero a player with a promising future.\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s the first time I’ve played with him on the same field. He’s a kid who wants to learn, he loves the ball and asks me a lot of questions about defense and hitting. He’s young and has a lot of talent; he has a very bright future,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>Manny Machado, Captain of the Dominican Republic National Team<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\nThe Dominican leader explained that one of his main responsibilities is to maintain trust and a good atmosphere in the group, allowing each player to perform at their best.\n\n\n
