MacKenzie Gore, a left-handed pitcher for the Washington Nationals, faced significant challenges in August, struggling to perform at a high level. Despite his talent, he was unable to find consistency and was hard on himself for his performance. Reflecting on his experiences, Gore has learned the importance of moving past negative moments to focus on recovery and improvement. Entering spring training with newfound confidence and a clearer mindset, he aims to become the ace the Nationals need as they continue their rebuilding efforts.
Gore reflected, "I just got to a point where I was like, 'All right, I've been thinking about this problem for six weeks now,' … When you pitch bad, you're kind of learning not to focus on why it was so bad."
Gore mentioned, "With my personality, it's the reason I'm good. It's also the reason I probably stay in the past perhaps a little longer than I should have."
