\"Breaking<\/p>\n

This would have been devastating for Philadelphia Phillies fans. The team nearly didn\u2019t have Jhoan Duran and his electric \u201cEl Incomprendido\u201d entrance at Citizens Bank Park for the ninth inning.<\/p>\n

FanSided\u2019s MLB reporter Robert Murray revealed on the \u201cFair Territory\u201d podcast that Duran was nearly traded to the Seattle Mariners last week before the deadline.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey almost got Jhoan Duran,\u201d said Murray. \u201cThere was at one point that morning that he was traded that I thought he was going to be in Seattle.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phillies fans would\u2019ve been heartbroken if they hadn\u2019t landed Duran. The former Minnesota Twins closer has been absolutely dynamic in his first two appearances, bringing sellout crowds to their feet when he enters as the lights go out, the gongs hit and Farruko\u2019s \u201cEl Incomprendido\u201d blares throughout the stadium while videoboards fill with tarantulas walking through flames.<\/p>\n

Duran has already thrown the fastest pitch in ballpark history \u2014 a 103.3 mph fastball against the Detroit Tigers last Friday. In that same game, his 102.5 mph heater to Tigers\u2019 Riley Greene was the fastest game-ending strikeout by a Phillies pitcher since pitch tracking started in 2008, per Sarah Langs.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

At 102.5 mph, Jhoan Duran\u2019s game-ending strikeout was the fastest by a Phillies pitcher under pitch tracking (2008)<\/p>\n

His 103.3 mph and 102.7 mph earlier in the AB were the two fastest pitches by a Phillie in that span<\/p>\n

102.5 mph (which he did twice) is t-3 on list (Alvarado) https:\/\/t.co\/HdtuvMPMLR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

https:\/\/twitter.com\/SlangsOnSports\/status\/1952182083658428455?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1952182083658428455%7Ctwgr%5E9fc144bfee665e1fcc25ade5a1e93d720c96b8a0%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fsportsnaut.com%2Fmlb%2Fphillies-almost-lost-jhoan-duran-iconic-el-incomprendido-entrance-to-seattle-mariners%2F<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Phillies fans are so eager to see Duran enter the ninth that they actually booed when Max Lazar came into Tuesday night\u2019s game against the Los Angeles Angels with Philadelphia up 5-0. Duran had been warming before Brandon Marsh\u2019s two-run home run made it a non-save situation. Lazar would go on to toss a scoreless ninth.<\/p>\n

Duran will wear a Phillies uniform at least through 2027. Philadelphia parted with pitcher Mick Abel and catching prospect Eduardo Tait \u2014 two top 100 prospects by MLB Pipeline \u2014 to complete the deal.<\/p>\n
