Chicago White Sox rookie closer Hector Santiago off to a great start – MLB News
The Chicago White Sox rookie relief pitcher Hector Santiago enjoyed his first ever save in Major League Baseball against the Texas Rangers on Saturday night.
This was one of the proudest moments in his career that he also went to say in public as he has received so far so many calls and e-mails from friends and relatives for his little but significant success on which he was surprised and to as all these happy,
he felt enormous joy as well.
Santiago said, “I must have watched it 10 times, Why not? You’re here in the big leagues, and you get to enjoy it. You’ve been through all the hard work of the minor leagues and high school and college, and now you get to sit back, relax and enjoy.”
Later he explained with more details about his team’s approach and how will he adjust his pitching accordingly. He said, “About the middle of spring training, [bullpen coach] Juan [Nieves] said, ‘Hey, you’re in the talk about the closer role, Then [pitching
coach Don Cooper] said, ‘Hey, we might be considering you for that ninth inning. Now two people are telling me. I was kind of in shock. it became a big thing.”
Santiago is a good player and currently carrying 4.50 ERA along with two saves, two strikeouts and 0.50 WHIP. He is coming into a new Major League Baseball season with full of optimism. His Spring Training performance in Arizona’s Cactus League was also
balanced as he practiced hard to be chosen for the starting rotation. His latest performance however, is also a healthy sign for the White Sox, who have yet to win a game in this year’s Majors.
Many in the White Sox management has also appreciated the way he is playing while some say, if things went well for him in the coming days, the White Sox will gain a strong position in the league and also in their own division. Experts believe that his presence
will make the team stronger and in right direction with a specific promise to qualify for the post season.
