Henry Rodriguez has a new teammate with Nashua of the Independant Atlantic League. 40-year-old Dante Bichette has joined Nashua as a pitcher.
''I tried out for them the other day and they said I hit 92 (mph),’' Bichette said. ''They like my fastball and my forkball. I’ll see what I can do. I really want to give pitching a shot.’' He also homered on the first pitch he saw in 2 1/2 years as a DH in his first game. He’s hoping to have enough success as a pitcher to make it back to the majors.
