Relief pitchers don't get nearly enough respect--including from this blog. There have only been a few relief pitchers named my MLBoyfriend. Those who have, Liam Hendriks, Ryan Helsley and Sean Doolittle, took home the title more for statements they made off the field than their performance on the field. In order to address that, I've chosen the most valuable relief pitcher of the past week: Alex Vesia.
Vesia pitched a total of 4 innings across 4 games in the last seven days. He gave up just 2 hits, no walks and no runs--earning a hold for each of the games. So, for the week, Vesia had a 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP and 4 holds.
Relief pitchers are so low profile, that there were really no news articles from the past week about Vesia to link to and very few recent pics available to use. Thank goodness for his Instagram page.
Sure, this post is sponcon, but it's funny. Plus, Vesia is adorable in it.
I also kind of love that instead of a photo of him on the mound or even in uniform, this is picture on Vesia's Wikipedia page:
Congratulations, Alex Vesia! You are my MLBoyfriend of the week.
