The Story of Ryan Merritt
The Cleveland Indians punched their ticket to the World Series this week on the arm of the unlikeliest of pitchers. Ryan Merritt had only pitched in the majors leagues 5 times before being notified that he would start the series clinching game 5 of the American League Championship Series. How did the Indians manager know that he would be the best man for the job? It all comes down to knowing your team and building relationships with them. Cleveland’s manager knew that if the need for a left handed pitcher arose in the playoffs due to unforeseen circumstances, he would need Ryan Merritt, and before the start of the series, one of their left handed starters injured his pitching hand fixing his drone at home (go figure).
Most interestingly is the fact that Merritt is from a little town north for Frisco, Celina, Texas, and was never supposed to even be in this position. He has spent his entire career in the minor leagues until this year, he proved to be the lefty they needed. The power of knowing their players and building those positive relationships helped the Indians trust that they had made the impact they needed to get the best out of the lefty at the most opportune time.
Below you will find a link to building positive relationships and getting to know your learners so that you can have a major impact on their success in the “big leagues.”
Thanks for a great week! It has been a blast hearing all the knowledge you guys already have about your kiddos, not only academically but also social and emotionally! Enjoy the weekend!
