“I feel like all of us have this feeling like we have the lead and Camilo’s coming in, we’re winning this game,” said Giants catcher Blake Sabol.
SEATTLE — One morning early this spring, Blake Sabol walked into the Giants’ facilities in Scottsdale, Arizona, and peeked at the monitor on the wall to the entrance of the clubhouse. Among his list of duties, as a novice backstop no less, was to catch Camilo Doval.
“There’s definitely a little more oomph behind it,” Sabol said. “There’s a lot of guys in the league that throw as hard as he does but a lot of them have trouble controlling it. He controls it and he’s got three pitches that are all plus-plus pitches. … I feel like all of us have this feeling like we have the lead and Camilo’s coming in, we’re winning this game.
“I just always want to comfort him whenever he needs it,” Webb said in an interview this week. “Super excited for him, he’s one of the most deserving guys to go . I thought he should’ve gone last year. … We’ve just always had a good relationship. He listens to me, I listen to him. I think I’m maybe a little bit of a comfort for him because I’m one of the only guys he’s known for a long time up here.
A nature-lover who owns three horses and often arrives at the ballpark wearing a cowboy hat, Doval’s low-key personality, a product of his rural upbringing in Yamasá, has earned him the nickname “Camilo Tranquilo.” When he briefly addressed the team after being named an All-Star, president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi said it was “probably the most I’ve ever heard Camilo speak.”
