Trevor Hoffman has found the Fountain of Youth

POSTED BY ON 11:36 pm, May 16, 2009 - POSTED IN Diamond cuts

I’m not exactly sure what Trevor Hoffman was doing this offseason, but at this point it wouldn’t surprise me if he had been wandering the depths of the Florida Everglades with a map left behind by Ponce De León.

Brewers Pirates BaseballBecause since the 41-year-old Hoffman came off the DL in mid-April, he has been pitching about as well as it is humanly possible to pitch.

In 10 games this season, Hoffman has yielded only 3 hits, and has not walked a single batter, while striking out 9. His ERA is 0.00, and his WHIP is a microscopic 0.30.

Most of the games were in tight situations too – 9 of the 10 appearances resulted in saves, including saves three days in a row from May 12 to 14.

After years in the figurative wilderness when it came to finishing games, it looks like the Brewers finally have themselves a real closer.
