MLB star Nic Enright fights back tears after earning major career milestone while battling cancer
A BASEBALL star became emotional after achieving a big-time career milestone while battling cancer.
An MLB pitcher closed out a win over the New York Mets on Monday night.
The Cleveland Guardians beat the Mets, 7-6, in an extra-inning road victory.
And relief pitcher Nic Enright got to earn his first career save, which would be meaningful in more ways than one.
Enright, who was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma in December 2022, allowed an unearned run in the 10th inning at Citi Field on Monday night.
The 28-year-old picked up his first save in just the 19th game of his big league career.
After the game, Guardians manager Stephen Vogt was asked about Enright, who is scheduled to complete his treatments later this year.
“He was almost crying on the field just now,” Vogt said about Enright following the game.
“If you read his story, it’s pretty inspirational.”
Enright was diagnosed with Stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma on December 22, 2022, just 15 days after he was selected from Cleveland in the Rule 5 draft.
He would rejoin the Guardians in the following offseason.
After the 2024 season, Enright underwent four rounds of immunotherapy for the disease.
The right-hander is expected to go through another round of cancer treatment in November.
“I made the decision when I was diagnosed in 2022 with Hodgkin lymphoma that I wasn’t going to let that define my life and dictate how I was going to go about my life,” Enright said.
“It’s something where, for anyone else who is going through anything similar, [it shows] I haven’t just holed up in my house and felt sorry for myself this whole time.”
Enright then opened up about how his illness has helped him focus better on the field.
“I’ve gone through a lot of adversity — just everything that has gone on,” he said.
“I reflect on those moments. I think that helps being able to slow the game down because it hasn’t exactly been a red-carpet rollout for my career trajectory.”
Enright made his MLB debut on May 25.
He has a 2.01 ERA with two holds in 19 games.
The Guardians have won five of their last six games as they’ll look to improve on their 57-55 record.
ESPN announces major broadcasting change ahead of new college football season in first-of-its-kind move
ESPN is giving fans an unprecedented level of access this college football season.
Viewers will get a behind-the-scenes look at how replay reviews work in ACC games.
This season, ESPN’s Friday night ACC games and ACC Network’s prime-time Saturday broadcasts will let viewers hear what goes on during a replay review.
Audio from the on-field referee, press-box replay official, and the league’s command center will be aired to viewers, according to David Teel of the Virginian-Pilot.
Command center staff like Al Riveron and Mark Bitar will also be heard in the reviews.
It is a never-before-seen broadcast feature that will certainly allow fans to better understand why certain calls go certain ways.
The decision to implement the officials’ audio into broadcasts seemingly stems from two Miami games that ended on official reviews last season.
The games took place against Virginia Tech and Cal, and both reviews ended up in Miami’s favor.
In the first game, Virginia Tech hurled a Hail Mary that appeared to be a walk-off win.
However, it was overturned after six minutes of reviews and no explanation was given.
In the Cal game, a targeting call was waived off against Miami, giving them a chance to make a game-winning drive.
Those two games received an extreme amount of backlash, prompting the ACC and ESPN to discuss how to make reviews more transparent.
According to Teel, the idea came about during a production meeting.
The original thought was to allow ESPN rules analyst Matt Austin to hear the officials’ conversations.
The idea was tested last season and worked well, so it was committed to 2025.
“We really have nothing to hide,” Michael Strickland, the ACC’s senior associate commissioner for football, told the Pilot.
“We’ve always been clear about who’s in the room and who’s authorized to get involved in officiating.”
The new system won’t be in place for every ACC game, but it is a welcome change for fans.
It is part of a wider push between ESPN and the ACC to modernize its college football coverage.
Fans of ACC teams are thrilled to see this change coming to games and shared their thoughts on social media.
“The ACC Replay Reviews last year were some of the most questionable I’ve seen in years. This will hopefully help with the transparency and integrity,” one fan said.
“About time,” another fan said.
“A good move by the ACC,” a third fan said.
“Everyone should follow suit,” a fourth fan said.
