New season and new uniform for Jake McCarthy. The Scranton native was traded to the Rockies in the off season with a chance to be an everyday player.<\/p>\n
In Spring training, he hit 321,4 doubles and 18 hits. It helped him earn his spot back to Denver.<\/p>\n
\u201c Yeah, it’s been fun, It’s super exciting first month here. Obviously in Arizona for a few years, so, Yeah, an exciting new team, and I like the direction that we’re headed in.<\/p>\n
You know, I’ll play all three outfield positions. I’ll bet wherever they ask me to do so again, kind of been doing that.<\/p>\n
And you know, it’s fun to be part of this team says McCarthy. “<\/p>\n
May has been an East coast swing for the Rockies, Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are great spots for the McCarthy family to see him play.<\/p>\n
McCarthy, \u201c Always fun being back in Pennsylvania. We were just in Philly. Right? So, I always have a lot of friends and family that come out. And, you know, I love going back. Still have a ton of family there in the off season. So, you know, I just I just love, love PA and you know I love I love playing on the East Coast “<\/p>\n
For two seasons, TJ Rumfield called Scranton home with the Railriders. The first baseman was traded to Colorado in January and now is an everyday starter.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old showed the Rockies he could be a major league after a good spring training.<\/p>\n
In May he is hitting 317, with 3 home runs and 6 RBI<\/p>\n
TJ Rumfield, Colorado Rockies says, \u201c I think it’s just baseball. You know, taking a day at a time and just trying to get your work in every day. And hopefully when the game comes around, you can compete and do your best you can. “<\/p>\n
Rumfield was part of the Yankees for 4 seasons after being traded from the Phillies. He was happy to be a part of the organization.<\/p>\n
Rumfield added, \u201c Yeah, just playing in Scranton is just one of the, I guess, steppingstone for me. And my career was playing there in AAA for the Yankees. And nice place, nice ballpark, good fans. And they just always showed out and always showed appreciation for us. “<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New season and new uniform for Jake McCarthy.
