For the last several years, it seems the names Jesus Luzardo and A.J. Puk appear in the same sentence more often than not.
The two left-handed A's pitchers were prospects at the same time. Injured around the same point in the season. And even made their major league debuts a few weeks apart.
But despite all that common ground, Luzardo and Puk definitely are not the same person.
“We’re super different, and we’re super alike in the same way,” Luzardo told NBC Sports California.
For full effect, they completely agree.
“There’s definitely a similarity and difference between us personality-wise,” Puk said.
