ATLANTA (AP) — Orion Kerkering doesn't seem to notice the difference.
Six months ago, he was pitching before a few thousand fans in the Florida State League.
Now, on baseball's biggest stage, he's tossing crucial innings out of the bullpen for the Philadelphia Phillies.
Surely it must seem a bit overwhelming?
Nah.
“Just kind of go with it,” Kerkering said nonchalantly. “Be where you’re at. Kind of have fun with it."
The 22-year-old right-hander's speedy climb from Class A on has been on prominent display in the first two rounds of the postseason.
