In a recent video posted on Twitter by MLB Player Media, the world is viewing a sight of Carlos Correa no one saw before. Apart from baseball, Correa loves digging into some salsa with his wife Daniella Rodriguez. Correa was a valedictorian in high school and excelled in his SAT scores.

When talking about his school days, Correa said, “My friends at school would call me boring because I would never go to a party.”
