Latz’s Full-Circle All-Star Journey | Texas Rangers News

Jacob Latz is back in Philly — the same city where he made his season debut, stepping in for deGrom and throwing four no-hit innings. Since then, he’s become one of baseball’s most dominant closers, with a 1.7 WAR, ERA under 2, and 90% save conversion rate. But his All-Star journey didn’t start here — it began in California, where he trained with Dominick Johnson, refining his mechanics and mindset to become a starter. Even when the Rangers went another route, he kept grinding. His teammates’ recognition of his work speaks volumes. Off the field? He’s dreaming of opening a restaurant — and definitely not a mustard guy on sandwiches. And hey, he wisely dodged the Cowboys question. This isn’t just a full-circle moment — it’s the payoff of relentless dedication. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
