MLB Prospect Thanks Taylor Swift For Helping Him Learn English

Whether you love Taylor Swift or not, she's had a big impact on her many fans throughout the world. One of those fans is actually an MLB prospect, who has gone so far as to credit her with him successfully learning English.

In a recent interview with MLB.com, Detroit Tigers prospect Roberto Campos spoke glowingly of Swift for helping him learn English. He explained that listening to her music was one of several tools he used after leaving his native Cuba. Campos also watched action movies with subtitles on, spoke at length with his roommate and listened carefully to Swift's lyrics to get a better grasp of English.

Ultimately, he feels that he's more relaxed using the language than he was in his first year and it shows. After needing a translator extensively, he now doesn't need one nearly as often to get his points across to the media.

“My first year, I wasn’t able to speak English. That was so hard for me,” Campos said. “My second year was more relaxed because I can be fluent in English.”

“Thanks, Taylor Swift,” he said. “She’s incredible.”
