David Peterson, a first-round pick by the Mets, observed David Wright's dedication during his rehabilitation from spinal stenosis in 2018. Peterson witnessed Wright undergo extensive treatment to play, which left a lasting impression on him. This experience inspired Peterson, who noted that seeing Wright's commitment motivated him to work harder as an aspiring professional. He recognized the influence of Wright's example in his own journey as a player, reinforcing the importance of hard work and resilience in overcoming challenges.
Wright's level of dedication was incredible. He went through four hours of treatment just to play three innings. Seeing that inspired me immensely.
As a young player, watching a professional like Wright fight through pain and work hard to return gave me a powerful lesson in commitment.
