Milwaukee Brewers: 28 Year Old Reliever Says Confidence Is Higher Than 100% After 1st Career Save
The Milwaukee Brewers have gotten a ton of value from unexpected bullpen pitchers this year. Bryan Hudson, who was acquired via trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers, is having an All-Star type of season. Jared Koenig, who joined the team on a minor league deal during the off-season, has a sub 2.00 ERA through 25 innings pitched. Now Enoli Paredes is starting to make a name for himself as well.
After spending a decade in the Houston Astros organization Enoli Paredes elected free agency upon conclusion of the 2023 season. He made his MLB debut in 2020 and played a key role out of the bullpen that year as he had a 3.05 ERA across 22 appearances and also pitched in seven post-season games. Injuries hindered him in 2021, he made just three big league appearances in 2022, and then zero a season ago. Milwaukee signed him to a minor league deal in November and he had his contract selected by them at the end of May 2024.
With a one run lead in the eighth inning manager Pat Murphy called upon Enoli Paredes to inherit a situation composed of two runners on base and nobody out. Paredes proceeded to get a ground out and then an inning ending double play as Tommy Pham was tagged out at home plate and fireworks ensued afterwards.
