Mexican MLB Players Excel in April Performance

PHOENIX, Ariz. — Mexican pitchers and batters are making headlines in Major League Baseball this April 2025. The best closer in the American League is among them, not allowing a single earned run in the first 30 games this season. He received the prestigious Reliever of the Month award for March/April.

This player, who has now secured 12 saves for the season, maintained strong performance with 11 saves in just 15 innings pitched throughout April. His team, the Seattle Mariners, closed the month on a high note, and his contribution was pivotal in their success.

On the offensive side, fellow Mexican player Alejandro Kirk also shone brightly. The catcher celebrated his first bobblehead night on April 30, capping it off with a walk-off hit that secured a win for the Toronto Blue Jays against the New York Yankees.

Kirk ended his week with seven hits and four RBIs, raising his batting average to .260. Meanwhile, another Mexican player, Luis Durán, ended a streak of reaching base that had lasted since April 11 during the same match against the Yankees.

Durán has a batting average of .271 with 19 RBIs and 11 stolen bases this season. In contrast, another Mexican athlete, Alejandro Verdugo of the Braves, has improved his batting average to .304 after achieving five hits and an RBI during the week.

Beyond position players, the Mexican pitcher Walker recently faced a setback in his latest outing for the Philadelphia Phillies, leading to his transfer to the bullpen following a third loss of the season.

As the month draws to a close, Bellzo, another standout pitcher, made his mark on Friday but suffered a loss after allowing five runs in 4.2 innings. Nevertheless, he is set to stay in the majors longer and is scheduled to pitch again against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

With his consistent efforts, players like these are keeping Mexican baseball fans engaged and hopeful as the season progresses.
