Draft: Eric Orze (Mets) venció dos veces el cáncer
Draft: Eric Orze (Mets) venció dos veces el cáncer
Posee una recta que puede alcanzar las 95 millas por hora y un buena recta de los dedos separados como su pitcheo para sacar outs, pero ninguno de esos dos lanzamientos está cerca de ser el aspecto más impresionante acerca del derecho Eric Orze, a quien los Mets seleccionaron en la 5ta ronda (150mo general) del Draft de MLB el jueves.
Orze, de 22 años de edad, ha vencido dos formas de cáncer.
A mediados de su temporada 2018 con la Universidad de Nueva Orleans, Orze fue diagnosticado con cáncer de testículos y se sometió a un procedimiento para removerle un tumor y un nódulo linfático. Pero justo cuando iba a regresar a la acción de béisbol, los médicos le detectaron cáncer de piel en un lunar maligno en la espalda.
Decidido a superar la adversidad y vivir una larga vida, al igual que a regresar a la loma, Orze superó la enfermedad en dos ocasiones e impresionó a los escuchas de los Mets lo suficiente como para ser seleccionado el jueves.
"El haber pasado por todo lo que pasé me abrió los ojos y me di cuenta de cuánto amo este deporte y cuánto estoy dispuesto a hacer para jugarlo", declaró Orze a Nola.com.
Los Mets se sienten emocionados de haber encontrado al talentoso lanzador derecho, quien ha sabido superar tantos obstáculos fuera del terreno.
"Lo que hemos hecho aquí es buscar talento, pero también ver qué clase de determinación los jovencitos tienen cuando enfrentan la adversidad", le dijo el gerente general de los Mets, Brodie Van Wagenen, a SNY. "El muchacho está motivado y está dispuesto a aceptar el reto de jugar béisbol profesional. Y nos sentimos bien contentos de poder darle esa oportunidad”.
