Jose Alvarado Shatters Social Media: Invites Viral Windup Mimic to the Game
Mimicking pitchers' windups has developed into a significant trend within the MLB this season , and this pattern persisted on Tuesday evening in Philadelphia.
As Jose Alvarado took the mound during the top of the 8th inning, the Philadelphia Phillies maintained a narrow 3-2 advantage over the Washington Nationals. A spectator in the crowd closely watched each pitch as the reliever fanned three consecutive hitters with the bases full.
Here’s a look at the concluding blow:
Of course, the video went viral and—as relayed by the Philadelphia Inquirer's Lochlan March —Not only has Alvarado witnessed it, but he also wishes to extend an invitation to the fan for a game.
"It was awesome," the pitcher told March I spoke with my agent. I asked if he could reach out to someone connected with the team, so they can locate the child and bring them over here. Perhaps I'll give them my signed jersey along with a few baseballs... I'm really looking forward to meeting this kid.
Although this young Phillies fan of 12 years had never been to a game on a Tuesday night before, his antics in the bleachers might just secure him a spot at another upcoming match soon.
An awesome story.
