“Part of Baseball That Never Gets Old” – Youngster’s Big League Call Melts Hearts as Milwaukee Brewers Emerge as Unexpected Division Leaders

2023 is a baseball season of surprises. MLB teams have been wildly swinging from victory to loss like a pendulum, surprising fans. Franchises expected to perform well have been disappointing, with underdog teams emerging as winners. One of them is the Milwaukee Brewers, who have secured a first place in NL Central in a surprising series of events.

Given an intelligent manager who has turned things around for the club, the Brewers have gained prominence. The return of Christian Yelich has not hurt either, who is slowly regaining his MVP-level form. But in addition to veteran ballplayers, the franchise has a promising farm system of youngsters. One of them recently made a powerful MLB debut, but he won over more hearts in a moment before it.

Every ballplayer’s dream is to one day play in the big leagues, but not many get to live it. Sal Frelick, however, is one of the luckier ones and just made a historic debut. But one of the best parts of this news was the moment he came to know – when he realized his dreams were moving in the right direction.

The Brewers’ official page shared his video of discovering the big news. In the clip, a group of players can be seen sitting around the table as the Brewers’ Triple-A manager, Rick Sweet, asks them if they’re okay to play.

“Hey, I’m just double checking with you guys, you okay to play tomorrow? That’s what I thought. I already told you,” he goes around asking. “”You’re okay? You’re okay? You already had a day off. You okay to play?” Then he points to someone else, “You’re playing tomorrow, I’m telling you right now, 5 hits?” Then he got to the main part of the scene.

“Sal, you sure you’re okay playing tomorrow? You sure? Well, you ain’t playing here, you’re going to the big leagues.”
