  • The Pitcher Who Faced Only One BatterBeard Laws (00:00.193)This is the Past ball Podcast, a podcast that tells you a baseball history moment and under the amount of time you can run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt, the pitcher who faced one batter. One of the most famous instances of a pitcher facing only one batter in a crucial moment in baseball history occurred during game seven of the 2001 World Series between the Arizona Diamondbacks and the New York Yankees. The Diamondbacks were leading 3 -2 when their closer entered the mound.Kim had been lights out in the postseason but had already pitched the previous two nights and fatigue may have been setting in with only one out, no one on base. He quickly got ahead in the account of Paul O 'Neill. However, a 2 -2 pitch, O 'Neill managed to hit a game tying home run sending the Yankee Stadium into a frenzy. The Yankees start to threaten again in the bottom of the 10th inning, putting runners on first and second with only one out. At this critical moment, Diamondbacks manager Bob Brenley decided to replace Kim with left -handed specialist Randy Johnson.one of the most dominant pitchers in baseball history. Usually a starter, but he wanted to face Martinez and intimidate him a little bit and he gets him swinging. The Diamondbacks go on to win the game and the series in dramatic fashion.Beard Laws Beard Laws Podcast Tee - https://beardlaws.com/product/beard-laws-podcast-tee/Past Ball Podcast - https://beacons.ai/pastball
