Legendary baseball coach Joe Torre once said, “baseball is a team sport played by individuals for themselves.”
It’s a great description of baseball because it is a team sport. But the team wins based on what individual players do in their moment in the spotlight. Whether that’s at the plate, in the field, or on the mound, what a player does is rarely impacted by what a teammate does in the moment they’re swinging a bat, making a throw, or catching a ball.Siary walked onto the mound against his team’s archrival, less than an hour after a 10-4 loss, and completely shut down the Rebels, striking out a career-high 15 batters in the process. It was the type of performance that sparks a team into more than just one win and leads to a ton of weekly awards.
