The left-handed pitcher Adrián Morejón continues to make history in the Major Leagues, as he celebrated his eighth victory of the season from the bullpen this Tuesday, becoming the Cuban reliever with the most wins before August in an MLB season.
With an effectiveness (ERA) below 2.00, the performance of the 25-year-old Antillean is being compared to rare feats in modern baseball, according to journalist Francys Romero on the social network Facebook.
Since 1984, no left-handed reliever has reached eight wins and an ERA below 2.00 before August, a record that until now belonged to American Jesse Orosco, who achieved it with the Mets more than four decades ago (8 wins, 1.99 ERA).
The most interesting thing is that Orosco achieved that record 15 years before Morejón was born, which further highlights the magnitude of his accomplishment. His dominance on the mound has not only been key for his team, but it also places him among the most effective relievers of this season.
