Jose Caballero is a certified pest, in the best possible baseball sense of the word.
He’s the guy working the pitch clock to perfection, to the annoyance of the opposing pitcher (or catcher, in Martin Maldonado’s case). He’s the guy whose elbow just happens to be in the way of the pitch — oops — earning a free ticket to first base. He’s the guy exaggerating when dancing off the bag, doing everything in his power to distract the opposition.
“He does all those little things and drives the other team crazy — which I like,” Mariners manager Scott Servais said.
