Every baseball player who makes the big leagues is exceptionally talented. But just because those guys are talented baseball players doesn’t mean that they’re talented in every aspect of their life. Some dreams, even for those players, go unrealized.
With that in mind … I spent spring training asking players around the league a series of quick-hitter type questions, and we’ve run those as a “Two Minutes With …” feature.

Today, we’ve compiled the best answers to the “What’s the one talent you’d most like to have?” question.
Max Muncy, Dodgers infielder
“Ooh. One talent? It might be pretty cool to be able to rock the piano a little bit. You see those guys getting into the piano, that’d be kinda cool. I’ll go with that.”
Cal Quantrill, Padres pitcher
“I don’t even know. Wait, counting cards. That’s a talent I’d like to have.”
Cam Bedrosian, Angels reliever
“I would like to be able to play a fiddle or a violin or something like that. Any instrument would be cool. But if I had to pick, it’d be one of those.”
Steve Cishek, Cubs reliever
“I wish I could sing. Like a good, solid country voice or choir voice, whatever. Wherever sounds a good to the ears.”
Clint Frazier, Yankees outfielder
“I wish I could sing, dude. I love music, so to see those guys perform is cool. I went to a lot of concerts in the offseason. Travis Scott was definitely my favorite one. That was definitely the most electrifying atmosphere I’ve been in besides the playoffs.”
Jo Adell, Angels prospect
“Play the piano. That’s one. Not a lot of people know that, but if I could play the piano, that’d be dope.”
Jonny Venters, Braves reliever
“I wish I could be good at golf. I’m terrible. I’ve never really tried to be good, but it seems like it would be a fun game if you’re good at it.”
Corey Ray, Brewers prospect
“Sing. I wish I could sing. Like, really, really sing.”
Dansy Swanson, Braves shortstop
“Singing. I would love to be able to have pipes. Any kind of pipes. That’d be awesome. I love rap and R&B. I wouldn't want to be able to rap, but I'd love to be able to sing. My girlfriend would probably say the same thing.”
Ben Gamel, Brewers outfielder
“Something musical would be pretty cool. I’m not any type of a musician. I’d rather play than sing.”
Anthony Rizzo, Cubs first baseman
“To fly.”
Robert Stock, Padres reliver
“Singing. I suppose I could work on it, but I don’t.
Chris Iannetta, Rockies catcher
“Everything. There’s not one thing. I just like to be good at everything.”
Touki Toussaint, Braves pitcher
“Singing. R&B.”
