Ronny Mauricio's emotional return to the major leagues comes after a 611-day hiatus caused by a severe ACL tear during Winter Ball in December 2023. Following a challenging recovery, including a second surgical procedure, Mauricio excelled during his rehab assignment with a remarkable .515 batting average in Triple-A. His opportunity came swiftly when an injury to Mark Vientos opened a spot on the Mets roster. Reflecting on his experience, Mauricio highlighted personal growth, stating the journey taught him invaluable lessons about hard work and resilience while reaffirming his physical skills.
It's a long process, Mauricio said. I think it's the hardest test in my career, but it's helped me a lot to learn about my body and everything I do, the hard work, everything.
I’m a better person, a better player [because of it]. This process gave me a lot of tools to take [forward]. I'm feeling great. I'm feeling like I'm the same person I was before my surgery.
