MIAMI — 21-year-old Nicaraguan pitcher Duque Hebbert struck out three of the four batters. Not every player can claim to have done this. Hebbert pitched to all-stars Juan Soto, Julio Rodríguez and Rafael Devers at the World Baseball Classic in Miami.
A Detroit Tigers scout offered Hebbert a Minor League contract on the spot. However, this is not the story for the majority of players, including most of Team Israel’s roster.
