There are some baseball journeys, and then there’s Alex Carrillo’s. The post Who Is Alex Carrillo? Meet the Mets’ Hard-Throwing New Reliever appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Alex Carrillo is the New York Mets' newest relief pitcher, a right-handed out-of-nowhere prospect with MLB talent. He's 6-foot-2, 245 pounds with a whipping sidearm motion that he throws from about 10 o'clock.

All major-league debuts are special, but it has to hit especially hard when you almost quit baseball, like righthander nearly did.
