Sentimos que sube su nivel de competencia un poco en estos ambientes, y esperamos que pueda embasarse y causar estragos en las bases��.\n\nComo primer bate, Garc��a sabe que su trabajo es ser la chispa para el resto de la alineaci��n. El primer inning no sali�� como los Reales habr��an querido contra Rod��n, quien ponch�� a los tres bateadores. Eso incluy�� a Garc��a, quien fue ponchado viendo una recta de 96 mph.\n\n��Sal�� a competir��, resumi�� Garc��a su actitud. ��El primer turno al bate no define el resto del juego. Poder salir, fajarnos y tener buenos turnos al bate el resto del juego es algo bueno��.\n\nLa persistencia de Garc��a result�� en cuatro sencillos, y produjo la cuarta carrera en el rally de cuatro rayitas de los Reales en la cuarta entrada.","type":"text"},{"__typename":"Video","contentDate":"2024-10-08T02:46:08.799Z","preferredPlaybackScenarioURL({\"preferredPlaybacks\":\"mp4AvcPlayback\"})":"https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2024/2024-10/07/8874e31a-0594b2d4-84c59e2e-csvm-diamondgcp-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4","type":"video","description":"Maikel Garc��a extiende la ventaja de los Reales a 4-1 con hit remolcador al jard��n derecho en la alta de la 4ta","displayAsVideoGif":false,"duration":"00:00:23","slug":"maikel-garcia-singles-on-a-line-drive-to-right-fielder-juan-soto-garrett","tags":[{"__typename":"InternalTag","slug":"season-2024","title":"Season 2024","type":"season"},{"__typename":"GameTag"},{"__typename":"PersonTag","slug":"playerid-672580","title":"Maikel Garcia","person":{"__ref":"Person:672580"},"type":"player"},{"__typename":"TeamTag","slug":"teamid-118","title":"Kansas City Royals","team":{"__ref":"Team:118"},"type":"team"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"hitting","title":"hitting","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"highlight","title":"highlight","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"in-game-highlight","title":"in-game highlight","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"game-action-tracking","title":"game action tracking","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"vod","title":"vod","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"game-story-highlight","title":"Game story highlight","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"postseason","title":"postseason","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"alds","title":"ALDS","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"series-a","title":"Series A","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"fan-duel","title":"Fan Duel","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"imagen-feed","title":"Imagen feed","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"eclat-feed","title":"Eclat feed","type":"taxonomy"},{"__typename":"TaxonomyTag","slug":"international-feed","title":"International Partner feed","type":"taxonomy"}],"thumbnail":{"__typename":"Thumbnail","templateUrl":"https://img.mlbstatic.com/mlb-images/image/upload/{formatInstructions}/mlb/upjxhrax66uqzn8zf4tq"},"title":"Hit remolcador de Maikel Garc��a?","relativeSiteUrl":"/video/maikel-garcia-singles-on-a-line-drive-to-right-fielder-juan-soto-garrett"},{"__typename":"Markdown","content":"Garc��a tiene una l��nea ofensiva de .362/.354/.404 con dos carreras, dos dobles, cinco impulsadas y una base robada en 12 juegos de su carrera en el Yankee Stadium.

NUEVA YORK -- Poco despu��s del ��ltimo out de la victoria de los Reales por 4-2 sobre los Yankees la noche del lunes, Maikel Garc��a dijo: ��Los momentos en la postemporada son los que pueden definir a un jugador de b��isbol��. Y en su primera participaci��n en octubre con Kansas City, ha aprovechado cada oportunidad para dejar su huella.

El tercera base se uni�� a los libros de historia como el cuarto jugador de los Reales en lograr una actuaci��n de cuatro hits en la postemporada, lo que ayud�� a Kansas City a empatar la Serie Divisional de la Liga Americana, 1-1, con la victoria en el Yankee Stadium.

Secci��n Especial: Postemporada 2024

No hace mucho, los problemas de Garc��a para producir le costaron su puesto como regular, lo que result�� en menos tiempo de juego en la segunda mitad. Y cuando jugaba, era colocado m��s abajo en el orden de bateo. Todo eso ha cambiado recientemente con una destacada actuaci��n en la postemporada.

��Se creci�� ante el reto��, dijo el m��nager Matt Quatraro. ��El primer turno al bate no fue lo que hubi��ramos esperado, pero despu��s de eso estuvo totalmente concentrado. Rob�� una base y jug�� muy bien a la defensiva. Tuvo un gran juego esta noche en todos los aspectos. Era algo que esper��bamos tanto para ��l como para nosotros. Respondi��.

Garc��a, de 24 a?os, es el primer jugador de los Reales con una actuaci��n de cuatro hits en la postemporada desde que su primo, Alcides Escobar, lo hizo en la Serie de Campeonato de la L.A. en el 2015. La lista tambi��n incluye a Lorenzo Cain y al miembro del Sal��n de la Fama, George Brett, quien lo hizo en dos ocasiones.

��Es muy especial estar en esa lista��, confes�� Garc��a. ��Honestamente, ni siquiera lo sab��a. Solo trato de aprovechar cada turno y tratar de embasarme lo m��s que pueda para que haya posibilidad de una impulsada. Realmente no he hablado mucho con Alcides sobre la postemporada. Hablo m��s con Salvy [el receptor venezolano Salvador P��rez], porque ��l est�� aqu�� conmigo, y me da mucha confianza��.

Garc��a, adem��s, se convirti�� en el 11mo jugador venezolano con un duelo de cuatro inatrapables en los playoffs y el primero en hacerlo desde Gleyber Torres en el 2020.

Garc��a dej�� su segundo promedio de bateo mensual m��s bajo de la temporada en septiembre (.161). Hab��a perdido su posici��n como jugador de todos los d��as durante la mala racha, pero Quatraro sab��a que hab��a potencial, especialmente por el valor de Garc��a en las bases.

El m��nager tom�� la decisi��n de colocar a Garc��a como noveno bate contra los Orioles en el Juego 1 de la Serie del Comod��n el martes pasado. Garc��a no desperdici�� la oportunidad y anot�� la ��nica carrera en la victoria por 1-0.

Una vez m��s, Quatraro mostr�� m��s confianza en Garc��a, esta vez al hacer que fuera el primer bate en el Juego 2 de la SDLA contra el zurdo de los Yankees, Carlos Rod��n.

��Se tomaron en cuenta muchas cosas��, asegur�� Quatraro antes del duelo. ��Maikel ha estado bateando mejor. Sentimos que sube su nivel de competencia un poco en estos ambientes, y esperamos que pueda embasarse y causar estragos en las bases��.

Como primer bate, Garc��a sabe que su trabajo es ser la chispa para el resto de la alineaci��n. El primer inning no sali�� como los Reales habr��an querido contra Rod��n, quien ponch�� a los tres bateadores. Eso incluy�� a Garc��a, quien fue ponchado viendo una recta de 96 mph.

��Sal�� a competir��, resumi�� Garc��a su actitud. ��El primer turno al bate no define el resto del juego. Poder salir, fajarnos y tener buenos turnos al bate el resto del juego es algo bueno��.

La persistencia de Garc��a result�� en cuatro sencillos, y produjo la cuarta carrera en el rally de cuatro rayitas de los Reales en la cuarta entrada.

Garc��a tiene una l��nea ofensiva de .362/.354/.404 con dos carreras, dos dobles, cinco impulsadas y una base robada en 12 juegos de su carrera en el Yankee Stadium. Dijo que el ambiente en Camden Yards durante la victoria en la Serie del Comod��n lo ayud�� a prepararse para lo que pod��a esperar en el Bronx.

��Creo que esos juegos nos ayudaron a mantener la calma y a entender c��mo se sentir��a la postemporada aqu�� en Nueva York��, explic�� Garc��a. ��Se trata de no intentar hacer demasiado, solo ser t�� mismo y continuar haciendo lo que haces en la temporada regular, porque es el mismo juego��.

Ahora, Garc��a tendr�� la oportunidad de mostrar su juego de postemporada frente a los fan��ticos de los Reales en el Kauffman Stadium, despu��s de hacerlo en la carretera.

��No veo el momento de llegar all��, demostrarles a los fan��ticos que estamos jugando para ellos��, confes�� Garc��a. ��Y ya he escuchado y me han dicho que es un ambiente muy el��ctrico. No veo la hora��.

Maikel responde a la confianza de los Reales: ��Se creci�� ante el reto��.
