Let’s see, leading the team in batting average, one of the few players to drive in a run yesterday, known for being solid defensively. Yep, sounds like a pretty good case for Drew Butera (never mind sample size, or the fact that he is a backup to a former league MVP).
Oh, but what’s this?
He pitches too! Not only did he allegedly touch 94 on the gun, but he struck out Carlos Gomez on a 78 mph breaking ball, that may or may not have been a knuckler. He was one of the few players to get out of his inning without allowing a run. There is no way to stop Drew Butera. He is a one man show for the Minnesota Twins.
Of course, now our back up catcher will soon need Tommy John surgery.
