Pablo Sandoval is now pitching for the Staten Island FerryHawks in the Atlantic League.
At 38 years old, he’s taken on a new role beyond his usual third baseman duties. This past Saturday, he started as a pitcher against the Lancaster Barnstormers. Surprisingly, he did really well, throwing 5 1/3 innings without giving up any runs. He allowed only four hits, struck out four batters, and walked one. Oh, and he also hit 1 for 3 as the team’s No. 3 hitter.
The FerryHawks shared a tweet celebrating Sandoval’s performance:
Couldn’t write the story any better! There’s no one like the Panda 🐼

Sandoval’s Unexpected Pitching Debut:
Usually known for his strong arm at third base, Sandoval showed impressive control on the mound. Fans might think it’s amazing to see him pitch so well after all these years playing infield. It’s like discovering a hidden talent late in your career.
Some fans believe this could be the perfect ending to his baseball journey. Others wonder if he’ll continue pitching into next season and extend his scoreless streak.
What do you think about Sandoval’s new role?
