Trinidad Preble is part of the young nucleus of players Cleveland fans are hoping will bring the glory days back to their city. The twenty-five-year-old righty is known for a biting slider and a no-nonsense approach on the mound.He's also known for getting a lot of saves, enough to lead the American League .
"When Trinny comes into the game, he works quickly and just gets hitters out," commented Indians catcher Florentino Figuera. "His fastball moves in on hitters, but his out pitch is his slider. Nasty."
Nasty enough to save 37 of the Tribe's 67 wins.
Preble's stats (5-3, 2.10) are not dominating, but he is in only his second major league season. After being called up in the second half of 2016, he pitched well enough (3-4, 2.30, 13 Saves) to be named the team's closer as a rookie. He was represented Cleveland in the All Star Game earlier this year.
