During one of the last days of spring training on a cool, windy morning in Mesa, Ariz., Chicago Cubs infielders Christopher Morel and Nick Madrigal positioned themselves at third base.
“It just shows how much he cares and no matter if it’s infielders, pitchers, like, you’ve seen him running bases out there for the pitchers, I mean, he’s dedicated to it,” Madrigal told the Tribune. “A lot of guys respect him for that.”Thursday on the road against the Texas Rangers, the 53-year-old Wisconsin native already has put his imprint on the team.
Cubs manager Craig Counsell watches from the dugout during a Cactus League game against the Royals on Feb. 26, 2024, at Surprise Stadium in Surprise, Ariz. “Our sport is really unique, different than other sports in that we spend a lot of time at work together without playing — there’s a lot of time to be spent in those moments and then we also have a lot of results thrown at us,” Counsell told the Tribune.
After he talked, players and coaches went up to Peralta and told him they better understood why he came to the complex every day with a purpose and energy.
