If you were to compile a Rich Waltz highlight reel, you’d find calls of walk-offs, Stanton homers, and a bunch of spectacular plays made by shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria. Perhaps the most expressive the Marlins play-by-play broadcaster gets comes when he rolls his tongue and says “Hechavarrrrrrrrriaaaaaaaa.”
You’ve heard this phrase used significantly more in this current year than in 2014, and it doesn’t relate to Waltz’s broadcasting patterns.
Without a doubt, Adeiny Hechavarria has improved since last year. However, if you look at many of his statistics, it seems as if not much has changed.
