I think the long innings came back when the pitcher was going eight or nine innings. He has all my respect, I like to see him pitch and that temper that he has up the hill is one of my favorites“said “El Culichi”.
It should be noted that Sandy Alcántar threw a total of 23.2 innings, much more than any other pitcher in the MLB. It was the most innings since David Price in 2016. Plus, the 27-year-old Dominican had more complete games than the other 29 major league teams.
