The utility player has made more relief appearances this season than any position player in MLB history, and there is a certain St. Louis Cardinals slugger he would like to pitch to this weekend.
LOS ANGELES ― For its Sunday night broadcast of the Dodgers’ game against the San Francisco Giants, ESPN made a wise choice when choosing a player to provide in-game commentary: Dodgers utility player Hanser Alberto.
The 29-year-old utility player has been asked to take the mound with the Dodgers leading by eight, nine, 10, 10, 11, 13 and 13 runs. He’s entered a game when trailing only once, in the ninth inning of a 7-1 loss to the San Diego Padres on Sept. 2. To his credit, Alberto varies the speed on his pitches like few others. His slowest pitch this season according to Statcast traveled 44 mph. His fastest, a 77-mph heater, was fouled off by Arizona’s Geraldo Perdomo. He even has a strikeout, freezing Padres slugger Josh Bell on a two-strike, 68-mph something on Sept 3.
