Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette may be sidelined with an injury, but that doesn’t mean he’s letting his downtime go to waste. In a recent interview, Bichette shared how he’s been spending his time on the injured list – by listening to his dad.

Bichette’s father, Dante Bichette, is a former Major League Baseball player who had a successful career with the Colorado Rockies and other teams. The elder Bichette has been a valuable resource for his son throughout his own baseball journey, offering advice and guidance along the way.

While recovering from his injury, Bo Bichette has been taking advantage of this time to soak up even more wisdom from his dad. He explained that they have been spending hours talking about hitting and baseball in general, with Dante sharing his insights and experiences from his own playing days.

Bichette also mentioned that listening to his dad has helped him stay mentally sharp and focused during his time on the IL. He emphasized the importance of staying engaged with the game, even when he’s not able to physically be on the field.

In addition to learning from his dad, Bichette has been using his downtime to work on other aspects of his game, such as studying video footage and doing mental exercises to stay sharp.

While being on the injured list is never ideal for a professional athlete, Bo Bichette is making the most of his time off by tapping into the wealth of knowledge and experience that his dad has to offer. And with his dedication to continuous improvement, it’s clear that Bichette is determined to come back stronger than ever once he’s back on the field.
