Scholten a call See the full thread (1/3) https://i.imgur.com/AK844UV.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/4fPMxjM.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/B7JzC5E.jpeg 獨聯美國協會的蘇城探險家 在週六時先發投手因故沒辦法投球，加上兩場比賽已經使用了十位投手 所以總教練決定打電話搬救兵 那就是44歲愛荷華州眾議員J.D. Scholten Scholten 本身就是棒球員出身 打過多個獨立聯盟 2006-2007更是效力於蘇城探險家 生涯在美國、加拿大、比利時、德國、法國、荷蘭、古巴都打過球 最近一次打聯賽是在2023年 當時他和荷蘭聯賽隊伍奧斯特豪特雙城隊簽約 https://reurl.cc/oRk1d3 The first-term legislator, and former professional pitcher, announced early Thur sday he'd signed a contract to play professional baseball in the Netherlands wit h the Oosterhout Twins, a team in the "Honkbal Hoofdklasse," an eight-team Dutch league with a schedule running from April through September. Scholten said the team, which plays in the southern town of Oosterhout, needed a n additional pitcher because of injuries and an issue with a Japanese player's v isa. 當時球隊投手受傷+日籍外援visa有問題 簽他去救火 With respect to his job as a legislator, Scholten said he doesn't anticipate any disruptions. "I’ve been on Zoom calls, helped a constituent via email and have a phone plan that allows me to be like I am in Sioux City," he said. 至於立法工作，他是靠Zoom遠端持續XD 2023荷蘭聯賽成績 IP:26.0 ERA:4.50 WHIP:1.12 當天接到電話後，J.D. Scholten就答應來救火 面對密爾瓦基送奶人投出一場優質先發XD https://i.imgur.com/VQZuxo6.jpeg https://i.imgur.com/CugsEEw.jpeg 目前他計畫再替球隊先發一場 https://reurl.cc/5vj5lR “They sent me the lineup card, it had all the players’ names on there, and the n it had a question mark on there where the pitcher’s name would be,” Explorer s Director of Broadcasting and Media Dan Vaughan said. “A big question mark and you’re like ‘who is it going to be?’ It was a big question mark. I’ve never seen a lineup card in all the years I’ve done this that had a question mark. T hat was the official lineup… two hours before game time.” 這場賽前轉播員拿到的先發陣容，投手還是打問號XD “I saw I had like ten missed calls and Montgomery texting me saying ‘Call me, ASAP,'” Scholten said. “That turned into less than three hours later getting t he starting nod and pitching. I wasn’t at top shape, but I said now or never, a nd when they needed me I said I’ll give it my best. I don’t know what I’ve go t, but I’ll give it my best.” Scholten接到電話時，離開賽只剩幾個小時了 https://i.imgur.com/vujVW9N.jpeg 三點被登錄到球隊名單 六點上場 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 111.248.216.169 (臺灣) ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Baseball/M.1720535699.A.E8C.html
