John Holdzkom has to be the best story in baseball right now. Going from a couple of independent league teams to mlb in a couple of months is amazing.

 

He’s not just getting mop up time, the Pirates have been pitching him in clutch situations. Last night he comes in the 8th inning of a 1-0 game.  He has 8 appearances, 0 ERA, he was placed on the 40 man roster in time for post season consideration.  I would sure like to see him in a NLCS game!

 

I saw him pitch against the red sox last week, he strolled out like he was throwing a bullpen.  I have seen and heard a couple of interviews, he just seems to be taking it all in stride, no big deal to him.

 

He really stood out before heading to the bullpen at the game I was at. How many 6’7” pitchers do you see wearing a pink backpack? 

 

Here is a link to a story baseball America did on him.
