Oh, to be young, in love, and crushing it on the baseball field! That’s the life Edmundo Israel Sosa has been living these days. With a young family in tow and plenty of baseball accomplishments already under his belt, Sosa is definitely making his mark in the baseball world.
You could say baseball has been in Sosa’s blood since day one, when he led Panama Metro to junior national titles in 2012 and 2013. Then, he represented Panama at the 18U World Championships in South Korea in 2012, making it clear that this was just the beginning of an exciting career for this talented young athlete.
Flash forward to 2022, and Sosa started the season with the St. Louis Cardinals. In July, he was acquired by the Philadelphia Phillies in a trade for left-handed pitcher JoJo Romero. He played his first game with the Phillies in August as a defensive replacement at third base, and his new team went on an impressive 11-3 run in the 14 games he started. Clearly, Sosa is making quite the impact on the Phillies, and fans can’t help but be excited about what’s to come for this dynamic player.
In September, Sosa experienced a slight setback with a right hamstring strain that landed him on the 10-day injured list. However, he came back strong and started four games for the Phillies in the postseason, including crucial World Series games against the Houston Astros.
Sosa’s journey to this point has been anything but dull. He started the 2021 season with the Cardinals, played in a career-high 113 games, and made quite the impression with his multi-position skills, not to mention being hit by pitch a whopping 17 times. This young star is no stranger to adversity, and it’s clear that he won’t let anything hold him back.
In the 2020 season, Sosa made the Cardinals’ Opening Day roster but unfortunately didn’t play in a single game after being placed on the injured list early on. However, he made the most of the offseason by playing in the Dominican Winter League, batting .211 with an RBI.
Throughout his journey, Sosa has consistently shown promise and determination. From his early days in Panama to his big league debut in 2018 with the Cardinals and now making waves with the Phillies, Sosa is a force to be reckoned with.
So, what’s next for Edmundo Sosa? Only time will tell, but it’s safe to say that this young talent has a bright future ahead of him. With his versatility on the field and unwavering determination to succeed, fans can’t wait to see what exciting feats Sosa will achieve in the coming seasons. Keep your eyes on this star in the making – he’s not going anywhere anytime soon!
