Episode Details

Xavier Rivas just turned heads with a historic six-inning no-hit performance, striking out ten batters and becoming the first lefty in Somerset’s franchise history to do so. This isn’t a fluke — he’s now allowed two earned runs or fewer in seven straight outings, slashing his ERA and keeping opponents’ batting averages below .200. His turnaround is even more impressive considering his worst career game just a few months ago, which he says served as a wake-up call to focus on command and avoiding big innings. With a career on the fast track since recovering from Tommy John, Rivas relies on a deceptive changeup and slider to outsmart hitters, and his dominant run has already earned him Pitcher of the Week honors. The big leagues are watching — and he’s making them take notice.
