It was a long way from what most Red Sox fans would call ideal baseball weather at Fenway Park on Wednesday, but that didn’t deter pitchers Liam Hendriks and Richard Fitts from getting some throwing in while (in Hendriks’ case) making some summertime sartorial choices.
The Australian native’s attire was conspicuous given the 20-degree January weather: Shorts and a T-shirt. But having not pitched at the Major League level since 2023 while recovering from Tommy John Surgery, Hendriks’ mere presence throwing at the ballpark may have been a hopeful sight for Red Sox fans.
Fact: playing catch in 20 degree weather isn’t boring, as Liam Hendriks and Richard Fitts are proving right now pic.
