Jhoan Duran's Entrance And Fastball Are Fire And Philly Is Loving It
The Durantula is taking over Philadelphia. That would be Jhoan Duran, the new Phillies closer who enters the game amid gonging bells and flames and spiders in a ballpark that goes black. And that's not all: Thousands of fans whip out phone flashlights as the custom remix of "El Incomprendido" pulsates over Citizen Bank Park's massive sound system. Come Monday morning, Duran's spectacular entrance (literally) is all Philly's obsessive sports fans wanted to talk about after the hulking righty closed out a pair of wins against the first-place Detroit Tigers this weekend. Two words on Duran's first impression that he gave Citizens Bank Park — en fuega: 'This is unbelievable,' Phillies broadcaster Tom McCarthy said as Duran took the mound. Duran threw four pitches to lock down the win on Friday. Then, two nights later on ESPN's Sunday Night Baseball, he repeated both the entrance and the dominance. He threw a 103.3-mph fastball that became the fastest pitch ever thrown at CBP. Tigers All-Star Riley Green fouled off that one (barely) and then struck out one pitch later on this 102.5-mph heater: 'You just know certain guys have a certain look about them, a swagger about them, and the song and the entrance doesn't hurt either,' said former Phillies closer and current analyst Ricky Bottalico on Unfiltered. Duran looks like a savior of a bullpen that looked more like a shipwreck, with 16 blown saves and a 4.31 ERA. Jordan Romano flopped in his closer audition, and Jose Alvarado, who replaced Romano in the role, was suspended 80 games under baseball's performance-enhancing drug policy. Orion Kerkering and Matt Strahm teamed up to give some end-game stability, but neither Kerkering nor Strahm are bonafide closers that will have fans sticking around for the final three outs. But Duran is must-see TV every time he heaves the ball. In addition to a 103-mph fastball, he throws a 98-mph splinker, a Ninja-worthy hybrid pitch that does this: On Thursday — one day before the trade deadline — Phillies president of baseball operations Dave Dombrowski sent two high-end prospects (Mick Abel and Eduardo Tait) to the Minnesota Twins to get Duran, who has 76 saves since 2022. 'They got the guy," former Phillies GM and current broadcaster Ruben Amaro said on The Phillies Show that dropped Monday. Amaro added that Phillies fans "got to give Dave Dombrowski a ton of love' to land Duran without parting with one of the team's top-3 prospects, Andrew Painter, Aidan Miller or Justin Crawford. And, yes, the love for Dombrowski will grow if Duran is closing out wins in Red October.

Phillies closer Jhoan Durán's entrance still has legs
Every superhero has a calling card — and Durantula's viral entrance has crawled its way to Philly. Why it matters: Citizens Bank Park was already one of baseball's most fearsome places to play, and now it's more dangerous for opponents when the lights cut off for Jhoan Durán 's intimidating intro. The big picture: When the Phillies acquired one of baseball's best closers, they also got the game's best choreographed entrance — which the Minnesota Twins had perfected to match Durán's imposing nickname: Durantula, per The Athletic. Durán debuted his trademark trot-in wearing a Phillies jersey over the weekend, and Citizens Bank gave it a very Philly spin. How it works: The Liberty Bell-inspired Undertaker bell — borrowed from the WWE wrestler — tolls as the lights cut off at the Bank. Then a custom mashup of "El Incomprendido" by Farruko and "Hot" by Pitbull and Daddy Yankee fills the stadium speaker. Durán trots out while his flame-embossed name and a giant tarantula crawl across the stadium's LED screen and fans raise their camera-phone flashlights. What they're saying: The Twins communications department spent more than 500 hours creating the entrance. They never hesitated about sharing it with the Phillies when Durán was traded. "It's the right thing to do," Minnesota's vice president of communications Dustin Morse told The Athletic. "This is for the greater good of baseball fans."
