On a Monday night in a season anything but ordinary except for a Royals rebuild, Josh Staumont electrified an empty Wrigley Field.
Three batters, three strikeouts, three dreams crushed beyond recognition. It was an overpowering delight. Recaps were made for such dominance.
The Victim: Javier Báez
Pitch 1
Fastball - 98.9 mph
Báez spits on the first pitch he sees from Staumont, and with good reason. If he manages to make contact, he’d likely be so late that it would spray into the first base dugout, so why even bother?
