What you may not know: If not in baseball, Bethancourt would " love to play soccer. During the offseason, I do soccer as cardio because you have to run a lot. Instead of running just by myself so I don't get bored, I play soccer. Just kicking the ball, running around and joking with friends. I would try to be a soccer player. I like to score goals. Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, those are the main guys right now, so I'd like to be the guy who scores goals. Those guys get more pay."
