Daniel Hudson has reached the pinnacle of his sport, experiencing the ultimate thrill for a closer when he threw the final pitch of the 2019 season for the World Series-winning Washington Nationals.
The 37-year-old right-hander hopes to scale what seems like another mountain this spring as he attempts his second comeback with the Dodgers after missing most of the past season and a half because of knee injuries.
“Stubbornness, I don’t know,” Hudson said with a grin, when asked what brought him back this spring. “I just knew I didn’t want to go out like [I did in 2023].”
