A Pitchers Hitting Streak | Past Ball PodcastThis is the Pastball Podcast, a podcast that talks about a baseball history moment and under the amount of time you could probably run around the bases. And I'm your host, Matt. Let's talk about Tom Seaver, the Hall of Fame pitcher, his hitting streak. He was obviously a Hall of Famer for the New York Mets, was known for an outstanding pitching career. But let's talk about the time that he embarked on a hitting streak that surprised many fans and baseball lovers. In 1972, it began in July.The streak lasted 14 games, which is pretty impressive for a pitcher that was a major league record for the pitchers at the time. During the streak, he demonstrated his ability to handle the bat well, collecting several hits, driving in runs. His contributions at the plate added value to his overall performance. Sievers' hitting streak helped his team, the Mets, in several games, providing offense when he was not on the mound. It came to an end after 14 games, but it remains a notable achievement in Seavers' career.Beard LawsBeard Laws Podcast Tee - https://beardlaws.com/product/beard-laws-podcast-tee/Past Ball Podcast - https://beacons.ai/pastballPast Ball Podcast is part of the Beard Laws Studio.
