If the Guardians have a save situation in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, manager Terry Francona is going to give the ball to Clase.
When the San Diego Padres moved him to the bullpen in rookie ball in 2015, he was happy. But he wasn’t satisfied. He wanted the ninth inning. He wanted to throw the pitches that decided victory or defeat.It took a while as these things sometimes do. But if the Guardians have a save situation in Game 2 of the ALDS on Friday afternoon at Yankee Stadium, manager Terry Francona is going to give the ball to Clase. And he just may do it in the eighth inning for a four- or five-out save.
“There aren’t many guys who throw 97 to 100 mph with cut,” said Chris Antonetti, Guardians president of baseball operations. “He had a very unique pitch profile and he continued to develop his slider that has taken him to another level.” “It was something we had to navigate,” said Antonetti. “It was unfortunate that it happened. Hopefully it was a learning opportunity for him. Emmanuel continues to evolve and mature as a player and a teammate. We’ve been encouraged with the strides he’s made over the over the last few years.”
“Our job is to get the ball to Clase,” said set-up man Sam Hentges. “He’s the best closer in the game.”
