Zambrano Already Feels like a Rookie

Carlos Zambrano, pitched in front of cheering crowds in a recent Venezuelan Winter League match. His cheers came by as a major morale booster. And when they came upon him taking to the mound, they made him feel like a rookie. He said this feeling had a lot to do with the fact the people were applauding in spite of him not having played for years. Such ovations are usually reserved for pitchers who start throwing after a fateful break, or years of reputation building. Zambrano, or Big Z as many have started calling him, pitched in MLB for the first time only a few months back in August 2011.
The player has been recognized for his aggressive pitching capabilities, and often intimidating batters. His abilities have led him to be recognized as one of the fastest pitchers in modern MLB. Moreover, in the Venezuelan league match, he made sure that the opponents had very little space to swing their clubs. On one occasion, he ended up hitting one of the batters unintentionally because of the accuracy he kept achieving consistently. The game is definitely going to get more entertaining as players like Big Z are hard to find frequently in action.
Performing outside the United States can bring many advantages to players, according to Theo Epstein. Epstein is the Cubs president of operations in baseball games, and he said that playing in Venezuela can be a refreshing thing for most players beginning in MLB. Fans believe that since majority of the games are held within the United States, for Big Z, it could take longer than other players before the profession begins to seem mundane.
In order to come out with a great performance record, changing venues definitely helps. However, Zambrano also needs to focus on arm fitness more than other pitchers because he might be belching out just a little too much energy in his early years. Although he still has a long way to go, it is inevitable that his early success will set the perfect foundation for keeping a good average record. Future matches will come along as and when the schedules allows for Big Z to show his best abilities.
