What I like to call the OOTP Special...

"The kid had it all working last month," a veteran teammate told reporters. "He keeps up those kind of numbers, we might have to start inviting him out with us after the games."

Felipe Rivero put together a very solid month to take home the National League's top pitching honor in April.

The 25-year-old reliever threw like a veteran. In 12 relief appearances he raked in 7 saves and 19 strikeouts in 13 innings as he put together his 3-0 record and 0.69 ERA.

The same day...

The season will end prematurely for Felipe Rivero, the Pittsburgh closer. He suffered a torn flexor tendon in his elbow on 04/28/2017, an injury that is serious enough to knock him out of action for the rest of the year. Rivero was not available for comment.

For the year Rivero has 7 saves in 12 relief appearances with a 3-0 mark and 0.69 ERA.
