Part 8/12:
Semien, who previously served as a team captain, shared his philosophy on leadership with the Mets. His approach is rooted in leading by example—staying consistent in his work ethic, participating actively in workouts, and supporting teammates through actions. He emphasized the importance of being the best version of oneself daily and being present for the team’s collective growth.
He also highlighted the value of veteran leadership in fostering open communication. Semien sees leadership not solely as issuing instructions but as creating an environment where players feel comfortable sharing insights and learning from each other. His inclusive approach aims to support young players and elevate the team’s overall performance.
