Arizona: familiar place; new experience
My name is Matt Nevarez and I play for the Houston Astros organization. I began my career with the Texas Rangers in 2005 and was acquired via trade last August. I spent a lot of time out in Arizona the first half of my career rehabbing due to injuries so now I am very excited to get the opportunity to play in the Arizona Fall League. I have had many other teammates who have been given the chance to play in this league and I am happy that I am now getting my chance to experience it as well. I was sent here to work on mechanical issues I had struggled with this past season. I am hoping to work those problems out and get back to pitching strong. It’s going to be a great experience for me to play with other guys from different organizations. I will keep you informed on how it all plays out! Tomorrow is the first day of workout so I am sure getting to meet the guys will be good!
Watched Matt play in AA ball for the Corpus Christi Hooks. Looking forward to keeping up with him in the Arizona League.
