The arrival of Natera Jr. represents important news for the Hispanic community in the United States, especially for Mexican fans who closely follow the growth of Mexican-born or Mexican-rooted players in the world’s best baseball.
Samy Natera Jr. receives the call to the “Big Show”.
The Angels announced the promotion of left-handed pitcher Samy Natera Jr. to their major league roster over the weekend.

During his major league debut with the Angels, Samy Natera Jr. pitched two complete innings without allowing a run.
In addition, he was able to retire three batters by strikeout, demonstrating control and composure against a high-level lineup.
The first strikeout of his MLB career came against Ryan Ward.
A moment that will be forever engraved in the memory of the pitcher and of those who have followed his professional development.
