Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun takes the field for a spring training workout at the team's training facility on Monday, March 14, 2022, in Surprise, Ariz.SURPRISE, Ariz. – This is a story that starts at an airport restroom. Not your typical setting for career turning points, at least not ones that end up with positive outcomes.
“Two hours later, he called me to say we were teammates,” Calhoun said Thursday, as he excitedly launched into the story. “I’ve never had like an older brother [in the big leagues]. Marcus is that guy. He’s always been like that to me. To have a guy that you can lean on on your team is huge. I’m just excited about it.”
Semien said after he got to Oakland in a trade from the Chicago White Sox that veteran Jed Lowrie played the big brother role for him. He hopes to do the same for Calhoun. The biggest difference, perhaps, is that it took Semien three years, after which he was 25, to reach 240 games; Calhoun has played in parts of five seasons and is 27.
“I’ve always been able to hit the ball hard, but I’ve always hit it on the ground,” Calhoun said. “I’ve worked hard to get to a point where I can hit line drives and homers. I feel 100 percent. This year, I’m just going to do my thing.”
