My Take
What I admire most about Edwin Encarnacion is his longevity. Bouncing through six MLB clubs as a feared power hitter is no accident; it takes a craftsman's consistency to stay relevant for that long. But what truly endears him to me is that signature parrot walk around the bases after a home run, the elbow tucked like he is carrying a bird. It is the rare flourish that feels both joyful and entirely his own. A genuine slugger from La Romana who paired serious production with a sense of play, he is exactly the kind of ballplayer I find easy to root for.
