Earning Their Stripes: Isan Díaz on Puerto Rican Pride, Hard Work

Danny, Ian and Ethan react live to Jordan Yamamoto’s MLB debut (1:35) and examine the factors that led to the Marlins promoting him instead of alternatives like Zac Gallen. Then, they analyze the mixed results from top prospect Sixto Sánchez (16:50) and all-around excellence of Isan Díaz (21:40) and Edward Cabrera (27:30).

That’s followed by an exclusive interview with Isan (33:17)! The star second baseman explains why he’s so proud to represent his native Puerto Rico, the bond he shares with Yamamoto, Lewis Brinson and Monte Harrison, his mindset while being on the cusp of a major league debut and much more.
