The @SiouxCityXs were without a starting pitcher on Saturday night.

The solution? Give Iowa State Representative J.D. Scholten a call

獨聯美國協會的蘇城探險家

在週六時先發投手因故沒辦法投球，加上兩場比賽已經使用了十位投手

所以總教練決定打電話搬救兵

那就是44歲愛荷華州眾議員J.D. Scholten



Scholten 本身就是棒球員出身

打過多個獨立聯盟

2006-2007更是效力於蘇城探險家

生涯在美國、加拿大、比利時、德國、法國、荷蘭、古巴都打過球


最近一次打聯賽是在2023年

當時他和荷蘭聯賽隊伍奧斯特豪特雙城隊簽約

The first-term legislator, and former professional pitcher, announced early Thur
sday he'd signed a contract to play professional baseball in the Netherlands wit
h the Oosterhout Twins, a team in the "Honkbal Hoofdklasse," an eight-team Dutch
 league with a schedule running from April through September.

Scholten said the team, which plays in the southern town of Oosterhout, needed a
n additional pitcher because of injuries and an issue with a Japanese player's v
isa.

當時球隊投手受傷+日籍外援visa有問題

簽他去救火

With respect to his job as a legislator, Scholten said he doesn't anticipate any
 disruptions.

"I’ve been on Zoom calls, helped a constituent via email and have a phone plan
that allows me to be like I am in Sioux City," he said.

至於立法工作，他是靠Zoom遠端持續XD


2023荷蘭聯賽成績

IP:26.0 ERA:4.50 WHIP:1.12



當天接到電話後，J.D. Scholten就答應來救火

面對密爾瓦基送奶人投出一場優質先發XD

目前他計畫再替球隊先發一場

“They sent me the lineup card, it had all the players’ names on there, and the
n it had a question mark on there where the pitcher’s name would be,” Explorer
s Director of Broadcasting and Media Dan Vaughan said. “A big question mark and
 you’re like ‘who is it going to be?’ It was a big question mark. I’ve never
 seen a lineup card in all the years I’ve done this that had a question mark. T
hat was the official lineup… two hours before game time.”

這場賽前轉播員拿到的先發陣容，投手還是打問號XD


“I saw I had like ten missed calls and Montgomery texting me saying ‘Call me,
ASAP,'” Scholten said. “That turned into less than three hours later getting t
he starting nod and pitching. I wasn’t at top shape, but I said now or never, a
nd when they needed me I said I’ll give it my best. I don’t know what I’ve go
t, but I’ll give it my best.”

Scholten接到電話時，離開賽只剩幾個小時了
