My Take

I have a soft spot for journeyman relievers, and John Brebbia is a fine one. Drafted in the 30th round in 2011, the longest of long shots, he clawed his way to the majors and held bullpen roles for the Cardinals, Giants, White Sox, Braves, and Tigers. Coming out of Elon University rather than a baseball factory only adds to the underdog charm. Relief pitching rarely earns headlines, but the nerve to take the ball in tight spots deserves more credit than the box score gives. I respect his persistence far more than any stat line.
