Jared Young made a significant impact in his long-awaited return to the major leagues after a 604-day wait. The 29-year-old utility player, who endured challenges in various organizations and had a season in the KBO League, hit a crucial two-run home run for the Mets against the White Sox, contributing to their 6-4 victory. This marked his first hit since October 2023. Manager Carlos Mendoza expressed pride in Young's dedication and ability to seize his opportunity, reflecting on the importance of self-belief in overcoming career struggles.
You believe in yourself and believe in the player that you are, I feel like it takes care a lot of a lot of things. There's gonna be a lot of ups and downs in kind of any career...the more you believe in yourself, you can get where you want to go.
He's back in the big leagues after grinding...going overseas, getting an opportunity back here in the states, and here we are, giving him a chance and he's taking advantage of it.
