The Arizona Diamondbacks manager talked about how his batting practice for fantasy football went at Fenway Park last week
Prior to the Arizona Diamondbacks game against the New York Mets on August 27th, 2024 at 6:40 PM, D-backs Manager Torey Lovullo spoke about his highly talked about batting practice at Fenway Park to determine the player's fantasy football draft order.
"Head down, things were working pretty good. I was a .239 career hitter trying to launch balls over the Monster soft toss though, not a pitched ball," Lovullo shared with reporters. "Then really, Thursday night, Friday morning I got the call that said 'Yeah you're taking BP tomorrow.' I was like Oh my God, are you sure about that so I fired it."I had 15 swings, 20 swings to get loose. We were trying to get the Trackman set up to see about the overall distance to determine how far the ball was going...I just was the batter...
"He finished twelfth, I popped it up but I knew it right away that I ain't going to hear the end of that but he said he wants either 1-4 or he wants to get down near the tail and get two picks in a row," Lovullo explained. "They see that side of me and they go out and play their best game on Friday night. That was a really good moment for all of us. A great series and I was just glad I could be a part of their fun and games and select their order. It was a lot of fun for me."
