The @SiouxCityXs were without a starting pitcher on Saturday night.
The solution? Give Iowa State Representative J.D. Scholten a call

独联美国协会的苏城探险家
在周六时先发投手因故没办法投球，加上两场比赛已经使用了十位投手
所以总教练决定打电话搬救兵
那就是44岁爱荷华州众议员J.D. Scholten
Scholten 本身就是棒球员出身
打过多个独立联盟
2006-2007更是效力于苏城探险家
生涯在美国、加拿大、比利时、德国、法国、荷兰、古巴都打过球
最近一次打联赛是在2023年
当时他和荷兰联赛队伍奥斯特豪特双城队签约

The first-term legislator, and former professional pitcher, announced early Thur
sday he'd signed a contract to play professional baseball in the Netherlands wit
h the Oosterhout Twins, a team in the "Honkbal Hoofdklasse," an eight-team Dutch
league with a schedule running from April through September.
Scholten said the team, which plays in the southern town of Oosterhout, needed a
n additional pitcher because of injuries and an issue with a Japanese player's v
isa.
当时球队投手受伤+日籍外援visa有问题
签他去救火
With respect to his job as a legislator, Scholten said he doesn't anticipate any
disruptions.
"I’ve been on Zoom calls, helped a constituent via email and have a phone plan
that allows me to be like I am in Sioux City," he said.
至于立法工作，他是靠Zoom远端持续XD
2023荷兰联赛成绩
IP:26.0 ERA:4.50 WHIP:1.12
当天接到电话后，J.D. Scholten就答应来救火
面对密尔瓦基送奶人投出一场优质先发XD

目前他计画再替球队先发一场

“They sent me the lineup card, it had all the players’ names on there, and the
n it had a question mark on there where the pitcher’s name would be,” Explorer
s Director of Broadcasting and Media Dan Vaughan said. “A big question mark and
you’re like ‘who is it going to be?’ It was a big question mark. I’ve never
seen a lineup card in all the years I’ve done this that had a question mark. T
hat was the official lineup… two hours before game time.”
这场赛前转播员拿到的先发阵容，投手还是打问号XD
“I saw I had like ten missed calls and Montgomery texting me saying ‘Call me,
ASAP,'” Scholten said. “That turned into less than three hours later getting t
he starting nod and pitching. I wasn’t at top shape, but I said now or never, a
nd when they needed me I said I’ll give it my best. I don’t know what I’ve go
t, but I’ll give it my best.”
Scholten接到电话时，离开赛只剩几个小时了
