The Arizona Diamondbacks and their closer, Paul Sewald, announced a new charity effort that is being headlined by Sewald. It's for a cause near and dear to his heart as kids mean the world to him thanks to his two young daughters. This charity cause dates back a couple of years to his time in Seattle and now he's doing it once again in Arizona.
"Molly and I started Sewald strikeouts for kids 3 years ago when I was in Seattle, I'd reached a point in my career at the time and really started to give back and we loved everything that Seattle had given us...We wanted to give back and we started this thing where I give money for strikeouts...to an organization that helps the kids because kids have been the center of our lives the last 2 years.
"They can get food, water, and just basic needs that we all take for granted. They have a great fostering program... Our government does the very best they can but Child Crisis is going to do everything and more and go above and beyond to make sure that these kids are going to proper families." So far, Sewald has struck out six batters in six innings and has raised $6,000 to donate. "I can't wait to strike out more people. I'm disappointed my season started out a little slow... We're hoping that we're going to rack some up through the year."
"I'm not savvy at anything else in life so just very thankful for for everybody on their part and D-backs Give Back to make sure that we could get this off the ground running and we could get as many strikeouts as possible and as many dollars as possible."
