Zavada trounces adversity to fit in 'pen
Posted by GameSetMatch on July 2nd, 2009
Left-handed reliever Clay Zavada has garnered plenty of national attention this season for his unique mustache. His facial hair, which is comparable to the mustache Hall of Fame pitcher Rollie Fingers once sported, thrust him into the spotlight when he was recalled from Double-A Mobile on May 12.
But with the way he has pitched, that focus will soon be turning to his pitching. In 19 games, Zavada is 1-1 and hasn’t allowed an earned run. But don’t tell him he’s been flawless. “I haven’t been perfect at all,” Zavada said. “I’ve messed up things. I haven’t been [anywhere] near close to perfect.” Zavada has not been completely flawless, but he’s come close. Opponents are hitting just .203 against him in his first season in the Major Leagues.
