Sometimes there comes a player who just thrives on pressure.
Los Angeles Dodgers utility man Kike Hernández is one of those players and his teammates have given up on trying to explain it.
“I don’t know. I’m watching it the same way you are,” Betts said after Hernández homered in Game 3 of the NLCS.
“There’s certain guys,” said Max Muncy, “that are able to perform in certain moments, and he’s definitely one of them. He’s always been one of them. We have a lot of guys on this team who fit that category, but Kiké is special in October and that’s why you have him on this team.
