Yadier Molina launched an entrance for the Indian artillery

He not only knows what to ask pitchers and when, but apparently Puerto Rican catcher Yadier Molina can also pitch.

The 38-year-old star of Dora, who made his debut on Sunday in the Athenians of Manatí uniform directed by his brother Cheo in the Roberto Clemente Professional Baseball League (Lbprc), made his debut in another facet of the game yesterday when he went to Pedro’s mound. Stadium went. Román Meléndez de Manatí to launch the Athenians’ final inning against the Indians.

According to the baseball researcher and historian of the Lbprc, the Santurce Cangrejeros catcher, Joshua Gibson, who also served as manager, threw a third of an inning on November 5, 1939 and allowed Guayama no liberties in a 23-0 backhand.

With the game extremely open, 19-7 at the time, Molina became the Athenians’ seventh pitcher in the game.

First, he had to face Jesmuel Valentín, who came in as a pinch hitter for Jeremy Rivera. And Molina had no problem knocking out Valentin with a weak ground ball that Molina herself fielded and then hit first.

The second batter, Henry Ramos, retired with a left swipe. Two out.

However, the next in the line-up, David Vidal, managed to tie in well with a launch from Molina and disappeared into the right field. Immediately, Iván de Jesús Jr. a double and appeared to wobble the great MLB-player’s debut.

But again surprisingly, as he often does thanks to his baseball skills, Molina struckout dangerous third baseman Emmanuel Rivera, who hit two homeruns on Sunday and had two on Monday.

In his 17-year Major League career, Molina has never stepped up the mound to relieve. According to Baseball Reference, Molina has played first baseman 46 times, designated hitter four times and third baseman once, in addition to most of the games as a catcher.
