When the Mets hired Buck Showalter as their manager, he was pretty straightforward with how he would approach his leadership strategies.
Showalter, who last led an MLB team in 2018, is a three-time American League Manager of the Year. But when he was introduced as manager, he told reporters that there is “no magic sprinkle dust” involved when it comes to winning baseball games.
Quotes like that from Showalter, which are simple and to the point, will become typical during his time in New York. He had another example that indicated as much during his press conference on Tuesday.
