Miguel Batista was a longtime journeyman pitcher who spent time as a Starter, a Middle Reliever and a Closer. His most memorable season had to be in 2001 where he was a member of the 2001 World Series Champions in Arizona, where he won a Game in the NLDS and threw eight shutout Innings in the World Series. He won’t receive a vote for the Hall of Fame, but a World Series Ring is a nice consolation prize.
