Chicago White Sox reliever Gregory Santos has hitters around the majors asking 'Who the hell is that?' with his impressive pitching. Now he's getting opportunities as a closer.
CLEVELAND — Chicago White Sox reliever Gregory Santos recalled a conversation he had with manager Pedro Grifol.
The Sox held a 3-0 lead on July 28. Santos surrendered a single to José Ramírez leading off the inning. With two outs, he hit Will Brennan. Santos rebounded and struck out Oscar Gonzalez for his second career save. His first was July 2 at Oakland. But he savored last week’s a little more.“I can tell you that I liked better the one experience at home,” Santos said. “The atmosphere, the fans were there. It was more exciting than the one in Oakland.
White Sox reliever Gregory Santos celebrates after Rangers catcher Jonah Heim grounds out to end the top of the seventh inning on June 20 at Guaranteed Rate Field.“He’s developed in the big leagues,” pitching coach Ethan Katz said last week. “When he first got here, he was kind of ‘let’s get him in the right situation, develop his sinker.’ And he’s kind of just flourished. He’s been the talk around baseball. People are very curious about him. We get a lot of good feedback from other teams.
Some say the final three outs of the game are the toughest for a pitcher. Santos doesn’t subscribe to that thought.“I think it’s the same ,” he said. “We are playing the same game. I don’t think I have to put more pressure on myself just because they are last three outs of the game.“In my case, even though I’m still young, I have experience in different situations. I’ve been able to get out of a jam with bases loaded and no outs.
