Daily News | Nick Maton brings ‘infectious’ energy, but lately he’s delivering more for the Phillies
MIAMI — It wasn’t enough for Nick Maton to mention where he and a few teammates went to dinner on the’ off-day Monday. He talked about the restaurant with such gusto that those who didn’t attend couldn’t help but feeling a little bit like they missed out on the meal of their lives.
“Especially in the environment that he’s in now, 162 games in six months, that’s a lot,” Lincoln Land Community College baseball coach Ron Riggle said by phone Wednesday. “To have somebody that does that, that brings energy every day, I think the intangibles that he brings to a team are immeasurable for what he does.”
Falter has been among the Phillies’ 13 best pitchers for the last month. It’s unclear how many pitchers the Phillies would carry for a best-of-three wild-card round series. They also won’t know how the rotation shapes up until they lock up a playoff spot. If they clinch before the final series in Houston, they could set it up almost however they want.
And then there’s his personality. Maton, who has a plush wolf in his locker, is an energy drink on a September night with 5,000 people in the ballpark in Miami. In the supercharged postseason, he might actually levitate.
