Could Kerkering be the answer to high-stress outs against the Braves' dangerous right-handed hitters? Bud Black recalls how the 2002 Angels deployed K-Rod.
Orion Kerkering made his eye-popping major-league debut 17 days ago. Nearly every day since,deploy their new bullpen weapon?
Maybe it’s time, then, with the deadlocked National League Division Series shifting to Citizens Bank Park, to fully unleash Kerkering on Ronald Acuña Jr., Austin Riley, and the Braves’ other biggest boppers. The Angels liked their bullpen, with veteran closer Troy Percival, right-handers Brendan Donnelly and Ben Weber, and lefty Scott Schoeneweis. Based on reports from the minor league staff, Scioscia and Black trusted that Rodríguez would give them another option.
Thomson was smitten with Kerkering at first sight. Kerkering cranked his fastball to 99 mph on Sept. 24 against the Mets and struck out Brett Baty and Rafael Ortega on that slider.Trusting him when a game on the line? That takes more nerve.
