WBC Glory or Hidden Curse? The Shocking Truth Behind MLB Stars’ Post-Tournament Performance Slumps
The common dominators of routine and consistency during a regular spring training are thrown off during the year of a WBC, which generally is held three years apart. Depending on how their nation does in the 20-nation tournament, players can be away from an MLB team for two to three weeks.
“You go from a spring training atmosphere to a playoff atmosphere (in the WBC) and then back to spring training and you’re trying to nail down a few things and hope you’re ready,” said Raleigh, who went 0 for 9 during the WBC. “To me, everything is about being consistent – staying in the weight room, staying on top of things in the training room and I’ve got to stay healthy a full 162. Over the years, I’ve learned what I need to do – stay strong, stay healthy and do my prep work – so that things don’t come back and haunt me.”
