After making known the officialization of the former player of Great Leaguesthis offered declarations to Shark Press Departmentwhere he talked about how he will face this new challenge in command of the Escualo cast.
“The news fell by surprise, but I was very excited with the first conversation I had with Fernando (Veraciente, Sports Manager of Sharks of La Guaira). I excited myself quite a lot from the beginning, but with my feet on the ground because I knew it was one of the options to be a shark manager. For me it is an honor and a pride that my first opportunity as a manager in Venezuela is uniforming one of the teams of greatest tradition. I enjoyed the games with the Samba and Atilano (Hidalgo, team animator) presenting the batters. As if that were not enough, my dad’s dream was to see me uniformed with Sharks of La Guaira because he is a guairista de heart, since he was Pampero. He did not occur as a baseball player, but he will give himself as a leader “he commented.
Gregorio Petit has experience in minor leagues
Petit is still young, since he is barely 40 years old. However, he has experience as a strategist, being manager of the double A of Houston Astros in 2021. Then, he went to the ranks of the class A branch of Oakland Athletics And later he went to direct in AA, where he left 84-55 mark.
“I like to play fundamental baseball, that the routine is done. In the little or much that they have been able to see me directing in these five years in minor leagues they can realize that I like aggressiveness in the bases, I am an aggressive manager. I need to have the necessary tools to play that type of Caribbean ball. Let’s hope, with God ahead, the team can be formed in that way so that I can implement the baseball that I like“Petit said about his way of seeing the game, in statements collected by the Sharks website of La Guaira.
