Yadier Molina threw an entrance in front of the Indian artillery

Not only does he know what to ask the pitchers and when, but apparently Puerto Rican receiver Yadier Molina can also pitch.

The 38-year-old Doradeño star, who on Sunday debuted the Manatí Athenian uniform led by his brother Cheo in the Professional Baseball League Roberto Clemente (Lbprc), made his debut yesterday in another facet of the game when Pedro Román Meléndez de Manatí climbed the hill of the stadium to launch the last entrance of the encounter of the Athenians against the Indians.

According to the Lbprc baseball researcher and historian, on November 5, 1939, the receiver of the Santurce Crabs, Joshua Gibson, who also served as leader, threw a third inning and did not allow Guayama liberties in a 23-0 setback.

With the game extremely open, 19-7 at the time, Molina became the Athenians’ seventh pitcher in the match.

He first had to face Jesmuel Valentí, who came in as an emerging hitter for Jeremy Rivera. And Molina had no problems withdrawing Valentin with a weak roulette that Molina himself fielded and then threw first.

The second hitter, Henry Ramos, withdrew him with an elevator to left field. Two outside.

However, the next in the ‘lineup’, David Vidal, managed to connect well to a throw from Molina and disappeared through the right field. Immediately, Ivan de Jesus Jr. it shook him double and seemed to shake the debut of the stellar Major League player.

But surprising once again, as he often does thanks to his baseball skills, Molina stabbed the dangerous forward Emmanuel Rivera with a punch, who hit two homers on Sunday and wore two on Monday.

In her 17-year career in the Major Leagues, Molina has never climbed the hill to relieve. According to Baseball Reference, in addition to the bulk of games as a receiver, Molina has played as a starter on 46 occasions, as a designated batsman four times and as a third baseman once.
